I reshaped the handle. It feels great now and provides excellent control of the blade as well.

Steel: AEB-L
Heat Treat: Paul Bos
Hardness: 61
Blade Length: 4 1/4"
Overall Length: 8 3/4"
Spine Thickness: .135"

Handle: brown mallee burl stabilized by K&G, carbon fiber pins and tube, G-Flex epoxy

Sheath: cow hide and synthetic thread.

The good news: overall a great looking knife that feels great in hand and will be very durable.
The bad news: rust spots on the left bevel and a scuff on the spine near the tip of the blade. These flaws are shown in the closeup pictures.





Here are the four rust spots:

New low asking price $94.00, which includes Priority Shipping anywhere in the USA. I do not ship internationally. The first "I'll take it" gets it.

J jfk1110 and Smiticus Smiticus thank you for the kind words. Overall, the knife turned out nicer than I expected and it will be a very versatile and useful outdoor tool. Also, my mom said it looked like a good paring knife ❤️
