I love this steel!

First knife I've made from some stainless San Mai with a cru-forge v core, I got from Mike Turner.
I've got enough steel left for 2 more knives. If I could, I'd use this almost exclusively for fixed blades.
Hawaiian Silky Oak from mark at burlsource, and carbon fiber pins.









And the other side...











Thanks for looking.

Leif that turned out great, love the forge texture you left and the wood grain mimics the forge texture, nice package.

Man I don't really care for wood handles but that is a seriously nice knife, great work.

Excellent job! Great all around shape and finish. The wood matches the blade perfectly.
