Beautiful work! Nice grind lines, superbly shaped and colored handle. Just nice all around.

Well thought out. Can't get over the dyed box elder. Its tops on my list.

Marvelous! AS ALWAYS Bona. I have seen lots of Box Elder Burl but that is top drawer, shape, fittings and sheath are all right on too. :thumbup:

SUPERB!!! The whole things is GREAT, but I really like how you did the guard and spaces...most excellent! I wonder how a bronze pin would have looked with that golden and green handle? Never mind, it wouldn't have matched the tong tube though.

Thank you, Friends.
I love work with stabilized wood.
Every piece is different and full of surprises
NS pin and hole is also good, it looks almost like SS on the guard

Wow. That is about all I can say. The handle is great but your blade shape and the grinds are what really moves me-Todd
