Looking good. You may want to round over the handle slabs near the ricasso area more. It will make it feel a lot better when choking up on the blade. Looks good though. How did you HT?
 
I heat treated it with a Charcoal forge til nonmagnetic let it soak for a couple of minutes, and quinched in bar and chain oil, and double tempered @ 425 degrees for 1 hr. Bar and Chain oil seems to work pretty good and is inexpensive.
 
I also thought that when I made it. The area toward the Ricasso needed rounded more. I'll probably go back and round it some. Also BLGood I liked your aged look on your Dark Cocobolo on Warnclif. That knife is what pushed me toward the aged look on this knife.
 
Here is an updated picture of more rounded handles. Picture kinda crappy no natural light. j

Well done. Looks balanced in shape and very functional. Glad you rounded the scales more. Looks like maybe copper pinning. Matches very well. Classy looking work.
