This is a half-scale version of another knife I made, and it's going to a guy who has the original of this and another set of knife and half-size-knife. I enjoy making these. 
Specs:
Overall Length: 5 1/4"
Blade: 3" O1
Handle: Green Canvas Micarta, Red Fiber Liners, Tapered Tang
Pins: "Bullseye" Mosaic
Bolsters: 416 Stainless
I used L6's contact cement method of gluing up the handle, and it worked like a charm! Solid as a rock, and no wait time. I'm sold. I think I'll try to send one with a user to see how it holds up, but I think it's going to be fine. Thanks, Michael!
This has a leather sheath, I used 4 oz leather so that'd be half-scale too. I sanded the liners down to half their thickness. One of the liners looks thicker in the picture than it is, don't know why but it's an illusion. Flakey photographer!
One thing I didn't think of was I should've used linen Micarta instead of the canvas to get a scale-sized weave too; well, there's always next time.
I had a half-scale version of my mark made the first time I made one of these, and it's come in handy often.
I know this is a kind of plain knife to show here, but it was fun to make and I'm looking forward to the next one. Believe it or not, this knife (the full sized version) is one of my best selling knives! At least, I've made 4 of them, all orders after the first. That's a lot for me.
Well, hope you like it!
