Blooge,it is hand rubbed out to a 600 grit satin finsih,thanks for the kind words
John,G10 is my favorite handle matiral to work with :)
 
Nathan, really nice, your sure finding your own style and it definitely is a good one at that. 2 or 3 years ago when i stepped out of the picture you were just getting started, making a few small knives that would be lost in the crowd, I can say with certainty that your current work is recognizable as "your own" and is definitely something for you to be proud of.

BTW nice pit.
 
Mr Lamey,When you seen me getting into it,I stopped after that for sometime sold my stuff and stop altogether,So in the past 8 moths or so I have been designing and getting my shop set up.Thanks for the posative input.

The knife is a little over 9 1/2 inch long and it has just at 4 3/4 inch blade
it is 3/16 D2 with a tappered tang.

You know, if you put a finger ring in the cutout behind the blade, or maybe a full-length finger guard like a Civil War D-Guard Bowie, it would make a very cool fighting knife..
 
Nice little squirel knife Nathan. :) Laminated handle looks real good and durable. Beautiful grinding and real point.
