It's been a while...

It's been a while but I just finished this one for my brother. It was the first time working with acrylic, and man it's that stuff fragile. The knife is in Aldo's w2 it is 7 3/4 overall. The blade is 3 3/4. It has mosaic pins and canvass micarta as well. I fused the arcylic scales with the black micarta to make them more durable.
Tell me what you guys think. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Awesome gift, and it really looks great!

As for suggestions, (since you asked ) the only two that I can think of that don't come with practice/time/skill etc. would be first: I would try to get the pins spaced more evenly in the handle. The forward pin could come back a bit, about 3/8" or so (from it's center) and the back pin could also come back a bit as well, about 1/2" or so.. to my eyes at least.

Second would be to round the handle a bit more so it's not quite as blocky. Which helps both ergos and aesthetics.

Other than those it really looks turned out nicely Keep it up! :thumbup:
