A friend of mine in AZ sent me some Mesquite and Iron wood to make some handles with.. The piece of Iron wood was pretty bad, had a bunch of voids, cracks and worm holes in it. I was going to make this gift for him with the Iron wood but there just wasn't enough to do the handle and the sheath with so I used the Mesquite . It does have one little spacer in the handle made with the Iron wood. The blade is about 8 inch's and it's 440. It's a long ways from my first knife but still pretty much a amateur job. Having fun though. I wish I had some of the equipment I see on the forum, of course then I'd have to learn how to use it 
The pictures are low quality and I know the handle isn't something you'd want to do a lot of work with but it does give you a good grip. Going to make my son one now, it will be a big camp knife, kind of a Bowie look but more of a straight point.
