Here is one I just finished and is going to another forum member (thanks Mark). This is 9.5" long and 4.875" tip to guard. It is my 5160 flat ground with a thin brass guard. It is a Curly stabilized handle with a stabilized Cherry Burl and black spacers. I used a hidden pin and covered the ends with crushed Malachite. Thanks for looking. -Burton

Thanks Chuck I think it is a curly maple but some of it that I have almost looks more like a quilted maple. I have a few more pieces that I am going to have stabilized soon.
 
that is very very handsome, I like it

very nice choices on the handle material, they go well together

Looks great - I especially like the subtle use of malachite in the pin recess.
