Hello folks

the upper one (no, the pics aren't the same, I mirrored them so they look the same but they are different sides) Is a 1085 Hubertus hunting knife blank from 1972.. I rehandled it and polished the black back to it's original lusten. Stag handle, leather spaces, aluminium buttcap. Whole thing is filled with epoxy and rocksolid

The lower one is a 440C blank by K.Hons, provided by David Stradnel (Thanks David !

Mosaic pinns are on it in any case.

Greetz and thanks, bart.

I like how you did the stag.

For the other, I suggest scales of a medium dark, well figured wood. No guard, no pommel, just the scales profiled to the tang.
And remember to contour the palm swells on both sides.
 
Hello, Bart

Nice blade that one. I think a good dark wood will look great in it. And I alsosuggest that you leave a small part of the tang protruding to be used as a skull crusher or hammer.
