Looks like a good little user knife!

wow, looks good! what wood did you use for the handle, looks like Ironwood

 

[BryFry]

Looks great! I like it alot! Leaving the roughness on the blade really gives it character.:thumbup:

Do you have more pics, like of the spine and the other side of the knife? Is it scandi grind, or beveled on both sides?

 

[Outdoors Fanatic]

Good job! Is is convexed?

Nice! It won't be your last.

 

[Charlie Mike]

Very nice!

 

[ElectrikHellfire]

Very nice indeed!

The handles are made from some bodark (bois d'arc) that we cut from a tree down by the turtle pond. I convexed the blade because I wasn't sure how to do anything else by hand! Strat RP#924

Great work; all the more so for a first timer.

Oh wow, I really like the way it turned out. Nice work! the sheath looks a bit rough though, haha.

I really love that raw steel look with all the pits and patina along the spine. Beauty in simplicity. Awesome.

 

[tinwiskers]

even better that you cut and used your own wood! very cool

 

[arrowhd]

Very well done. I'd be proud to carry that knife.
