I sketched out this design back in March and profiled the first few in early April but then they got benched by other projects. I have always liked wharny style blades but had issues with just how delicate the tips got, given the complete lack of belly. I figured a slight curve at the end might increase the utility without losing the overall appeal of the blade style. My Nubilus handle and sizing seemed appropriate so that part isn't new.
The steel is 1084 from Aldo.
Handles are stabilized Oregon maple burl from Mark at Burlsource/Itsaburl
Pins are a standard commercial 1/8" mosaic, pretty but I have no idea who makes them.
Overall length is about 7.5" with 3.5" of blade, a pretty useful size for day to day use and as a companion to larger knives.
I'm finishing up the sheath for a subdued look version in black today and will add pics of that one to the thread later.
First shot is more recent than the second and third. I cleaned up smudges I missed on the handle and also rebuffed the front portion of the right scale to fix the white of the linen being so prominant.
