Finally finished my second knife, a drop point hunter. A2 with stainless bolster, file work, walnut scales and mosaic pin.

Also finished my first slipjoint. 01 with brass bolster and redwood burl scales. Half stop, flush in all three positions. Screwed up the nail nick. I attempted to fix it and made it worse, finally accepted what I had.

Overall I am pleased, I need practice grinding. Feel free to critique, I can't get better if I don't know what I did wrong.
 
They look great Michael.
Filework looks proportioned and neat. The handle on the fixed looks like it's imbeded in glass. Nice finish work. The slippy could maybe use a better blade finish and definition but it's not critical. Overall nice stuff.
