Can't see them on the other forum if you're not a member.
 
Nice! The groove in the ebony bolster adds a nice bit of visual dressing. If the groove were not there, the transition zone from the wood to the blade would lose a lot of its zip and IMHO the knife overall would become more "plain jane".
 
Thanks a lot guys.

The ferrule was my first one, and when I started I thought I would never get an even and nice groove round the guard.
But it turned out ok, but now I really have respect for those doing all the groove filling and stuff in steel. But I guess with practise I can do that too :D.
