1095 "hunter" in walnut

[Shawn fu]

Here is one I just finished for my cousin...
The blade is 1095,clay quenched,from Aldo with some hammer marks,and left dark from the etch.
The guard and pommel are 316 stainless.
Copper spacers.
Wood is walnut cut from owner's property-leftover from a rifle stock he made.
BL is 5 1/2" to guard.
OAL is 10 1/2".
Sheath is leather with copper accents.
Well,he said he wanted a hunting knife,but after his description of what he wanted,I made this fighter

Thanks for looking,and as always,comments good or bad appreciated
