Bird and Trout

[BenR.T.]

Here is a little bird and trout I just finished up. This one has a hand rubbed L6 blade and some really fantastic stabilized curly Koa, on a tapered tang. The pins are copper with white fiberglass. I am starting to use these copper/hybrid pins I make on more and more of my knives as kind of a signature thing. The sheath is a hand stitched horizontal carry rig.
I got to try out my new leather stamp on this one also, pretty happy with it.
OAL on this one 7.5" w/ a 3.5" blade.

Good lookin little blade. Very clean and that handle looks like it has a nice grip.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Nice kit Ben! Your handle geometry is surprisingly complex and subtle for such a seemingly "simple" knife. Bet this one feels great in hand even after lights out! Dig your pins too; the whole thing should age very gracefully. Elegant.

Best to you.

I like it Ben. It looks like one anyone could use and be proud of.

Very nice. How did you come about making the pin stock?

Very nice. How did you come about making the pin stock?

I thought it would look cool, so I made them.

That's reasonable. I like it.

Very nice, Ben. Looks like a great knife. Those tubes are a nice touch too.
I have done something like that once -I filled tubes with epoxy/GID mixture. Looked pretty cool but I like how yours looks better.

Looks great and very handy. Like the shapes and proportion. Gorgeous handle and nice touch on the cool pins. Excellent work!
