Very interested - couple of questions, though. Handle material? How much extra $$ to put 6-8 jimps on the spine right where your thumb is in the 3rd picture?

Handle material Is a stabilized mystery wood from my box of handle material that has become mislabeled.
The blade has been hardened and tempered to approximately a RWC 60-61 Post heat treat jimping for me has not been with satisfactory results. Its ether high speed cutting with a rotary tool with messy results, or long slow filling with a diamond file.
