I have a feeling this is going to end up on my list very soon, with no choil. I can't wait to see how it comes out.

Stomper,

What are you going to use on your handle?

Are you going satin finish or 'as forged'?

I`m not sure on my handle, but I`m going satin finish on mine. But, I will offer it either way

Maybe Ivory paper micarta for the handle.

Hey John, does the designer get a discount?lol Just kidding!
I guess put me down for an option B w/ maple burl scales.

If I keep getting ahead on my schedule, I`ll be making mine this month! I figure you might want to see how one looks in something besides cardboard! BTW - I just ordered $600 worth of steel this morning!

John, Could you finish the blade like this

forged finished where its shaded and your normal finish on the rest of the blade

I can try, but no guarantee on that.

Ivory paper micarta would look good. I've got a couple of knives with that material; nice stuff.

THAT would look cool! I have a big forged bowie finished like that.

So John, what do you think about a blood groove to really make these suckers look bad-ass? I think they're frivolous, but what the hell, sometimes frivolous is good.

I have some 1/4" scrap metal out back and a router fitting for the dremel. I bet I can rig up a simple guide. Then again, I think I can do a bunch of stuff that it turns out I can't do.

I'll try it next weekend.
