Frame Handle Bird and Trout in W1 and ironwood burl

[HSC ///]

This is a pattern by James Rodebaugh MS. He taught me how to make this style and this is my first attempt. Also first try with parkerizing and working with ironwood burl (which is not easy).
It needs a bit more polishing up but I've got to get over the Plaza Cutlery knife show now

Very nice work!, and in particular, good for you for recognizing James for his pattern. All too often the originator of a design or technique is not given credit due.

If I could pick one maker to school me on hunters it would be Rodebaugh. Really nice work, HSC!
