Hoping this fits in this thread… I’m pretty sure Moras count as traditionals and I didn’t see any rule that it has to be a folder 😬

Here’s a bit of a “project summary in pictures” of a gift I made for my dad’s birthday a few months back.

Starting with a Mora 2000 “blank”, I handled it in some micarta I made from worn out pairs of khakis and jeans. The middle layer is black G10 with a channel cut for the tang, and the pins are brass. I also did a satin hand-rub finish on the flats of the blade and put a better edge on it while I was finishing it up.
