I have been making five knives this week one of them a Bushcrafter. I received an email from a member that purchased one from me not to long ago and was looking for another. I already had this one ground and heat treated so I asked if he wanted it. He was wanting a 5" handle with around a 3.5" blade and beefy handle. This one has about a 4 3/4" handle with 3.5" blade. Anyway long story short he hasn't seen the pic yet!!!! I don't know if he will want it because of the handle but I think as soon as he sees the wood it will be a deal sealer. If not, its going up for sale here. This pic is with just one quick coat of oil. Im going to give it the attention it deserves and wet sand with mulitple coats of oil. It is without a doubt the finest wood I have ever seen in person or worked with.
WHAT YA THINK?????????????????????

Sorry man, I forgot the pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!I was too excited.
 
Looks great Chris. The wood on that handle turned out really well, love the light and dark color contrast.
By the way, what kind of wood is that?

Thanks IM, pics don't do it justice. It literally looks like its on fire. I hope that knife is working out good for you bud.
 
Its working out great. May have to get my next on with this wood, I LIKE IT!!!
 
Looks like it won't be going up for sale! Thanks Mike.
 
yowser!
that's a pretty piece of wood!
(rest of the knife ain't bad, either... :D )
 
I see the pin configaration we discussed is working out! I like the wood!!! Yummy
 
That wood is gorgeous, and the three pins making a triangle are pretty cool. Kinda looks like an arrow, "this point forward"
 
Thanks guys. I want to keep this one for myself! After I saw it I emailed my wood guy and asked him to save every board he gets that looks like that. Im going to have Walnut all over the place!
