1st stock removal project - Update (pics)

[IH8U]

I posted a couple of weeks ago my first stock removal project and figured I show you guys the almost finished work. Its been heat treated, the handle has been contoured and I have got a working edge on her. I still have lots of finishing fine detail work to do as well as making some leather pants. My tootsie roll micarta turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. Thanks for looking.

You did a damn fine job on that Sir. The handle is especially well shaped! I am impressed!

Looks good man. I like the blade shape and the contoured handles.
