Everyone else is postin pics so I figured I'd stick a couple up too. Don't think I've posted anything since I renewed my membership so I gotta start getting my money's worth

Its a larger version of a wharncliff/sheepsfoot pattern fixed blade I've made a few of now, blade is just over 4", handle is about 4.5". Black linen micarta scales, .125" 440C (home heat treat in the forge), brass pins and lanyard hole. Sheath is .090" kydex with a wide belt/boot clip at the customers request.
Let me know what you think.

Thanks alot guys
This was my second attempt on this knife. The first one died in the forge. It was the first blade I tried to heat treat since adding the blower (aka my shop vac) to the forge and I had ground it a little thin. Burned a hole in it right next to the plunge. So its nice to get some positive feedback now that the dang thing is finally finished

Pretty cool, I realy like the shape, especialy the handle-looks like it should fit the hand well.
