I posted this in shoptalk also but thought I would also post it here. So, here's my first go at a "Sharpfinger" style knife. It's 440c in 1/8" with desert ironwood scales. It's hollow ground, 7 3/4" OAL, 3 1/4" blade. What do y'all think of the hand rubbed flats and cork finished hollow? I think it looks fine but wasn't sure with the lines going opposite directions. Also, I had a tough time getting the front of the scales to look right with all the different lines on this knife. Anyway, it should make a good skinner. Let me know what y'all think.
 
You did a superb job on that little beauty. They are a lot harder to make than people realize. Very well done!

This was one of the more difficult small knives that I've done. There is a lot of things that you have to make flow together. Thanks for the kind words! I have another one profiled and was thinking of flat grinding it. Not sure how that would workout.
