This is a fist full of knife. 7 1/2 inches OAL with a 3 5/8 in blade. Convex grind on O1. Yep, O1.....I'm tryin to move up in the world....

The handle is red palm.

what yall think?
 
I really want to hold on to that thing - looks like an ergo dream come true!
 
In O-1 that looks great! In 1095 that looks great! I love O-1 however and this knife must be wonderful!
 
looking good and handy buddy!! Great size and steel:thumbup:
 
Really great work David. You're going to like working 01. It gives and gives.
 
where does one get red palm?? is it a hard or softer wood?

stabilized?
sorry for all the questions just never seen it before.

Ive found red and black palm on ebay, its a pretty hard wood and does chip easy, Im sure stabilizing wouldnt hurt but it works well natural, the end grain is tiny dots that run the length of the grain, if you look at the butt of his knife in the 4th pic youll see the dots. To be honest I never cared for how it looked until I put it on a knife, you can turn the grain 45° and make the dots run the length of handle along the spine.
