primative woodworkers draw knife

[atakach]

well this is something a little different even for me, first time iv'e tried to make one, it's a wood workers draw knife, I had hawk handles in mind when i made this, and i tried it out, will work well for roughing out handles from heavier stock.

the handles are textured,dyed,burnt, and polished elk horn tips.

the blade is forged 5160, cleaned up a bit , lightly polished, etched then cold blued.

what ya'll think?

thanks for looking
