First feather!

[Cody Hofsommer]

Here is my latest. My first attempt at a feather pattern! The blade is 1084 and 15n20 and the handle is stabilized Claro walnut. It has a stainless guard with a brass file worded spacer along with another stainless spacer. The pin is domed SS. The blade is just under 8.5" and OAL it's 13.25". It's ~.25" at the riccaso with distal taper.
Let me know what you think, good or bad.
Thanks
Cody

Cody, that's beautiful- especially considering you cut the feather by hand, no press, several heats...

Very, very nice. There isn't one thing about the knife I would change, a real beauty!
