Still have a couple areas I need to clean up but this is essentially it....the first knife I have made using bolsters. baby steps....
0-1
6 & 7/8" OAL
blade 2 & 7/8"
Cocobola
stainless pins(tig welding rod) & stainless bolsters

I heave yet to attempt a bolster. I can only hope my first try comes out so well.:thumbup:

I like those bolsters. Looks like your TIG rod matched the stainless you used for the bolsters well enough to vanish the pins. Nice. It's not easy, but you got 'er done. Now you have to try one with dovetailed bolsters! Not really much harder...

Thanks fellas..
@Salem, yeah they aint bad i can live with it as I consider it in these early stages as an experiment/learning thing. I think i was a little timid with my peening, next Im going to beat the fire out of 'em!
Its funny you mention dovetails, thats exactly what i wanna do on my next one.
