Im waiting on a small sanding sleeve so I can clean up the front finger notch but I went ahead and made one for my kid. I suck at paracord wraps so its kinda ugly. It really makes a difference with the wrap. No makers mark on this one because the only place to put it is right smack dab on the blade and I don't think it will look right. Once I get my sleeve I will knock out half of them as they are already heat treated. I left 120 grind marks on it because I think it looks cooler!

That turned out nicely. Looks like it should be really useable. I'm thinking that one of these will be on me everyday. I think a simple kydex sheath will finish it off nicely so I can throw it in my pocket.
 
Very cool Chris. Does that fit as nicely in the hand as it looks?
 
HIts my hands real nice with the finger areas. I will be doing some with antique finish and some with forge finish.
 
Nice job on the knife Chris. Mick Strider would be envious of your paracord wrapping abilities . . . . ;)
Once you got the cord wrapped on, I "assumed" it still fit pretty well in a tin box ? Seems like just the right size for a small knife to have on ya' for those little itty bitty cutting chores.
Good job buddy.
Be safe.
