Since I am new to this forum, I thought I would share the photos of my first and second knives. The first has a malaysian mahogany handle with nickel silver pins and a brass thong tube. The secons has walnut rear sections and moose antler bolsters with nickel silver pins. I had to redo this handle a few weeks later as the moose antler curled up on me. Replaced it with straight walnut. Both are 0-1 steel that was strictly stock removal. Heat treated myself with cutting torch. Second knife was built for a friend and sold for 50 bucks.
