Dave, that is beyond a doubt a stunning looking knife.
I'll be honest though I haven't noticed a lot of bronze hardwear.
Interesting choice.

When I first looked at it, I would have to agree with Phil. Looking at it several more times, the different, yet subtle, shades/tones do an extremely nice job of breaking the knife up.

Another well executed knife ! :thumbup:

Well, I'm certainly impressed. That is one great looking knife. Is the blade forged or stock removal?

I think it looks great.I really like your organic style and it makes your work standout to me.Even to the pins in the stag handle,very well thought out.

Keith, stock removal.

Any chance you'll describe your method for achieving the bold hamon? It rocks.
