Ahah, you did choose to use the lighter part also. When I first saw the wood I said to myself, I hope he doesn't cut that off.
Looks great and does compliment the choil angle. OK, you didn't have the wood when you ground that angle. Just Lucky?
 
I've been working on sanding the blade so I can finish this project up. Today I also spent some time shaping the handle and decided it was time to show you what I'm seeing. Neither the blade or the handle is anywhere near finished, but I think you'll agree the handle is showing some amazing figures.

Today I sanded it up to 2000 grit, sharpened it, etched my mark into it, then did the Ferric etch for the damascus pattern. I then assembled it and it is now curing. Tomorrow I'll finish the handle using the knifemaker's vise. As hoped, I think it will be done before the year changes.

I'm a slacker for waiting this long. But I finally did get around to it. While I'm no expert leather worker, I'm pleased with the result. The
