Nice job:thumbup:
Is that cocobolo?

I have a kit knife I wanna do myself, but I've been lazy. My plan is to mirror polish it, and put OD Green micarta scales w/ red g10 liners on it. I think it'd be beautiful like that.

However, I did make a OD Green micarta southard scale back in may...

Your scales look great, no constructive criticism there:thumbup::thumbup:
But you could have polished, etched, or stonewashed the blade if you wanted too. Doing that would have given it an "extra touch", but it still looks very classy!

Ps...someone was drinking chianti!!!

Very nicely done Fit and Finish looks excellent!

ya I haven't fully learned the process behind different blade finishing so I need to get on learning that if I want to make more...the wood is actually desert iron wood I bought it a few years back for a different wood working project and never got around to using it

I like the way you profiled the scales. Good job!
