Just finished this one up for an upcoming benefit auction. I haven't been able to work on many knives of late due to trying to focus on working to pay the bills. This one is made from a farrier's rasp and is 9 inches OAL. Blade length is 4 1/4". Handle material is Afzelia with an Amboyna piece for the guard. I have never used a wood piece for the guard material so I hope it holds up O.K. I'm still just using a 6" bench grinder so it is definitely slow going, but I think it turned out alright. Let me know what you think. The backdrop piece is a Desert Bighorn Ram horn found in the Big Bend region of West Texas.
