Well folks here is my first post. I've been working on this piece for about a week, part time, and like to think it turned out pretty nice. So please let me know what you think good, bad, or indifferent. Hope my picture shows up.

blade-hand forged 1095 .25"x1.5"x10.5" long

guard- nickel silver

Joe,

I congratulate you on a fine piece. Well done. Very smooth natural design.
If that makes sense .:thumbup:

Where are you located in Ohio? I'm down along the Ohio river in Washington Co.

Looks like a J. Johnson Mountain Man style of knife, would like to see more pictures and the sheath if you have one.

And would be happy to see more of your knives anytime :thumbup:

Is it full tang or hidden?
 
Thanks for the compliments. I'm not very computer literate, but i'll try to make some larger photos in the future. The blade is a hidden tang that goes about 3/4 of the way back held in with the first two pins. It's my first ring guard and I made it blade heavy, it twirls like a dream.
 
Yes great knife and I really like the ring guard. I have been looking at the olive wood and wondering how it works. Where I grew up in eastern Montana they had these small scrub trees called Russian olives and I have been thinking of getting some and checking it out
