Here's my latest knife. This carving is something I've wanted to do for a while now. It is all hand carved.

Specs:
Forged 80CrV2 blade with selective French patina
3 3/4" blade, 8 1/4" overall, .170" thick at the ricasso w/ full distal taper
Rounded spine and ricasso
Black g-10 collars with raised rounded and coined stainless spacer
American black walnut handle, hand carved with 3D basket weave pattern
Stainless checkered finial screw.

All comments and discussion welcome.

The more I look at the basket weave, the more difficult it looks. Amazing.

Talente, indeed, is the word here.
I usually don't care for randomic patina, but you made very good use of it.
The carving is an spectacle in itself. Congrats for the beautiful package.
