I just finished this one-off design for a customer. It features a Sheepsfoot style blade with a satin finish in 154CM stainless. The handle has stabilized figured walnut with black G-10 bolsters over black and brown spacers. Brass mosaic pins and black Micarta pins hold it all together. This one was ordered without a sheath. Please forgive the dust on the knife from the log. I didn't see it when I took the photos. Thanks for looking, Jeff
















 
Very cool. I like it a lot. I probably would've liked it a touch more without the protrusion at the heel. Great colors. F+F is very tight and clean.
 
Jeff,
I love a well made wharnie and I wouldn't change anything about this one. It's a beauty and I like the contour of the birdsbeak because if it's done right it ergonomically helps with blade control and retention.
 
Very nice, I'm kind of a sucker for Wharnie, and Sheep foot style blades myself.

Walt, The blade is 3 5/16" and overall length in 7 7/8".
 
That is very nice, really like that profile a lot and materials go well together and like those small mosaic pins a lot too.

I like it! Very practical blade shape and nice to be able to get traction on the top of the blade with a finger or two. Nicely done.
