Fixed blades

I can let these pics out now, from a couple months ago....it was a surprise, but now the person has it, so I hope it's Ok showing pics.

It's my field knife in 8670, but more canted handle giving a slightly more aggressive cut.
I was going to put OD linen bolster with Osage rears, but the person asked for vintage linen oatmeal, instead. It's a harder Micarta, probably because of its age? And has dark speckles in it. Probably flax seed hulls?
Typical handmade hardware, flared lanyard, and a bead I made on a Very old lathe with parting tools, files, and by eye....I don't make beads. Not sure what I'm doing?
I made the sheath with the option of mounting vertical or tilted forward for a more ergonomical draw. Edge forward, reverse grip.

It's going to look gorgeous some day, all darkened, stained, and Blotchy.
Thanks.

Thanks fellas, much appreciated!

Quick question, anybody have any suggestions for a free photo hosting site? For some reason my Imgur account was locked down and now I can never regain access to it, according to them.

I don't want to go back with them for obvious reasons, and I don't really want to use Google photos because no matter what I seem to do it wants to go through my whole phone and copy all my images and back them up online, which I don't want.

Any suggestions are welcome, thank you. I'll keep any back and forth brief or non-existent, so as not to derail the thread.
