Knife #4, getting better!

[mt_hangglider]

Just thought I'd share Knife #4 I made on Saturday. As always, I make the disclaimer that a friend produces the Damascus blades and I do the handle work. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the way this one turned out. It's a nice sized knife at 7" overall and a 3" blade. I used copper and black fiber spacers and this was my very first attempt at filework. The handle is Thuya burl. One of these days I need to start making my own blades but for now this is a really enjoyable weeknight and weekend hobby for me.

That is purdy stuff! Do you ever do tapered tangs? I think those adds something extra to any fixed blade.
