First attempt at a Nessie

[aliloff]

Well what do you guys think? I used a Green River Buffalo Skinner for the blade, ziricote wood for the scales, mosaic 1/8" pins with red spacers. It has more curve to it kinda like my Grohmann No. 1 which allows for more clearance for the finger while on the cutting board. What do you guys think of it, I think next time I'll use the Sheep Skinner blade which has less curve to it. I left the sheath plain and servicable (still working with my leather skills)

Man, thats a very nice custom knife bro. The sheath is great too! I'm with Yvsa on the choil, but thats just a dadgum opinion, so don't sweat it. The knife is very well executed. Looks like a comfortable user!!!

Very nicely done.

I usually don't like choils either and after I cut it in I kinda regret it. But I got a sheep skinner blade coming and we'll see how that one comes out.
