I like how the handle material is held without rivets showing, shows off the wood nice. Having a metal pommel is nice (I have had to drive tent pegs with the back in a rough use situation, good to have a knife it is possible to do that with) Good job!

Thank you sir. I have developed a system by which the handles are held stronger than by rivets. I had to remove the handles from a knife when an unseen flaw showed up in the handle and it took a cold chisel and about 45 minutes to remove all of the handle material. The bolsters are pinned and peened, then filed and sanded to make the pins disappear.
