This completes an unmatched set of two hunting knives that were ordered for a guy to give to his boys.

I threw in a picture of the knife and all the parts right before glue-up just for fun. Everything is pinned together as well as glued so nothing can move or twist.

Specs:
Forged from 1084 steel
8 3/4" overall, 4 inch blade (3 1/2" sharp), .180" thick at the ricasso
African Blackwood handle with carving and texturing
Bronze guard with bronze and black g-10 accents
Bronze and black g-10 accent in handle

Wow John, Amazing, simply amazing! That Blackwood and Bronze goes together perfectly. I also really like the work on the guard as well as the matching accents. Couldn't get any better IMO.
 
Very classy knife, sir; the bronze and carved blackwood look fantastic together. It has a dressed-up, black tie sort of elegance to it!
