I love to make full tang knives with metal bolsters. I think you did a very good job on that one. The tooling on the sheath is very nice, too. Hope someone buys it for what it is worth!
 
Kevin,

It's actually a slotted guard, but thanks for the nice comments.

I really like the handle and sheath. Not a big fan of the blade shape and your mark seems a little over powering.

Very nice. Excuse my ignorance, is the slotted guard open at one end so you can slip it over the tang? Do you then sodder it to the tang? Or slotted means just open hole to slide the tang through?
