This is a pretty Terassaur. It is 1/8" thick 3D Spalted 01 with a Scandi grind and exposed rear tang. The Scales are burlap from cofee sacs by Shadetree Phenolics. I put in an orange pinstripe between the scales and natural canvas micarta liner. The pins and bullseye filler are nat can. $270 shipped with Robert Fetner sheath.

The last one I have today is a Fiddleback Shank! The preliminary design from the JohnnyMac collaboration. This one has a 5/32" thick CPM S35VN blade that has been fileworked. Wicked pointy and comfortable in the hand. The handle is Arizona Desert Ironwood with black canvas liner, pins and bullseye filler. The handle has an orange pinstripe too. $270 shipped with Robert Fetner sheath.

I am usually a wood guy but that burlap is niiiice! Love that Wenge Recluse as well. I can't ever get my Wenge to look that nice.
 
Strat...you suck! What was your address again?
 
Andy, I'll take the Shank. PP on the way... Thanks bro!

No thank you!! Whew that one almost cost me some money!! (even if it is stainless) First Fiddleback Ive seen with filework, what gives Andy, bored this week? Looks good I like it. And yall know I like the wood scales but that coffee bag burlap on that terrasuar is pretty darn sweet. I would like to see that in person.

Thanks Ray.

KFU, sand to 400, then go to red, grey, and white scotchbrite pads. Scotchbrite is thekey. Brush with Polyurethane, allow to soak in for a few seconds, and wipe off thoroughly.
 
Actually, filework is not hard or time consuming, I usually just remember it after the blades are in the oven for HT.
