OAL 10" and the blade is 4 1/2"long from plung to tip ATS34, guard and spacers are nickle/sliver, handle is ironwood. And Dan Farr style handle, the block of iron wood was split twice with two layers of carbon fiber between each. Just needs a sheath and sharpened.
And thanks for looking.

Just trying some thing different but don't think I'll do that again, lots of little problems along the way. This is the third handle for this knife took three tries before I happy with it.

Thanks for the comments.
 
I really love your project.
The handles are really nice.
Looking forward to see the sheat man!
 
Amazing! Hope I can make something that nice one day!
 
While finishing my HT today i finished the sheath for this knife.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! However, I'm far from producing anything of that quality right now. I've only been making knives for a few months, so I've got a ways to go.

BTW, didn't you do the radiused bolster demo a while back at one of the guild meetings?
 
No, not yet. I've only made one knife with bolsters, so I'm not really up to speed on the general process. I have the latest newsletter that details your plans. Hopefully I can give it a try soon.
 
I'll bring it to the next meeting and you can look at it again.

This is what it looks like finished.
