Just finished this one up.
Hunter green jigged bone, nickel silver, and 3/32 O-1 blade with a antique finish......my name is Darcy, and I'm an etchaholic:D

3 inch blade. 3 7/8" closed. Pinned shield. Half stop. Flush in all 3 positions. Good walk and talk.

Comments and critique are welcome.

Wow, really nice! I love the shade of green in the bone scales. the size sounds just about right as well and O-1 too. What's not to like?:D
 
I like how the jigging gets deeper as you move from the bolster to the butt end of the knife.
 
very excellent. the color is great. hard to tell if there's a hand-drawn swedge on top. Looks like it from the top view. probably hidden by the antique finish? Shiny nickel liners look great sandwitched between the green and the etched spring.
 
Yup, there is a swedge. Mostly hidden by the poor photography:D
I kept the angle of the swedge fairly obtuse. Doesn't make much difference with a single blade, but when I get around to making a multi blade folder, it would be counter productive to have a sharp uncomfortable swedge digging into your hand while you cut with the second blade.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

I'm a sucker for green, and your knife hits all the right buttons. Absolutely gorgeous!
