Just some quick fresh off the work bench pic's of my last project.

Blade; 9 inch 440C, flat ground hand rubbed 1500 grit satin finish with file worked spine
Handle;Sambar Stag, outer layer has been ground off then dyed and polished
Fittings; File worked wrought iron
Over all length; 14 inches
and it's a take down.

This pic is just for fun to show how far it is between a pile of crap to the finished project. This is all the material I used for this project

And a couple hours later

Thanks for looking

Holy Smokes, it's amazing. I love the whole thing, but the filework and the way you treated the choil area is just beautiful.

Beautiful work. I did the same type handle a couple of weeks ago with some Axis stag, I really like that look. Try to make the next one in under an hour. HEHEHE

"Few hours later" uh huhhhh

Looks great. Could you post some close ups of the guard filework in the handle area and the leaf carving treatment on the butt? Those are really elegant touches to a wonderful knife.
