First off, apologies to John for not doing this sooner.

I recieved this cracking blade almost 7 months to the day!!
You know how it is though, sometimes things just get in the way.

I'm finally finding time to get some workshoping done again.
Together with a puukko I'm handling, this was my first knife after a long dry spell.

The scales are Brazillian Tulipwood, solid brass pins and a mosaic lanyard pin, a mix of brass and copper, I thought complimented the scales nicely. Actually, I had always planned on using the mosaic pin and asked John to accomodate it when drilling the holes. The Tulipwood seemed perfect....pity it wasn't book matched but hey.

It was tricky to get the colours right, especially with it beign another gloomy Yorkshire day.

Kept the handle profile real simple. I find the handle shape makes all the difference in this design anyway.

In the hand...

And that groovy pin...

Anyway, thanks for looking.

Looks great, thanks for sharing. I love tulipwood, I`ve got a ton of it on hand, when it started to get hard to find I stocked up on it.
 
Thanks John.

It finishes up to a super satin finish with very little effort. Its nice to work with....I can undertand you stockpiling!

BTW I sent you a PM.

Looks great. I love the contrast between the wood and the blade.
 
Hi scruff -

Very nice! I also like the tulipwood, it has a lot of character.

The mosaic pin really dressed the knife out - great work!

Thanks for the pics -

i'm liking John's CBK pattern. that handle looks great scruffuk. congrats on the beautiful knife.
 
That really turned out nice. I like everything about it.
 
That's a beauty scruff,thanks for the pics,especially the in hand shot,for some reason I thought the CBK was smaller.
The combination of tulip wood,copper & brass really compliment each other.
 
Very cool , scruff!

Thanks for doing this for Hanna!
