GF's Knife

[Bruce Culberson]

I just finished this one up, it's for my girl friend's Birthday. Her favorite colour is orange. This one will be used for camping, hiking, fishing and maybe hunting! I guess it's an all purpose knife. The handle is G-10 with black liners - I should have taken a pic of the tang it looks sharp with the liners.

Cool! What are the dimensions?

Thanks for the kind comments guys.
The steel is 1080. The blade is ~4 3/8" tip to scales and the handle is 4 1/4". The blade is 1 1/8" tall, the handle is 3/4" deep at the narrow parts and just over 1/2" thick. Its hard to tell in the pics but the pins & thong tube are copper. The blade is flat ground to within 1/4" of the spine - I lightly sanded the mill finish at the spine & ricasso for a slightly rustic look.

Also I shot a pic of the black liners:
