Hello Fellas-
Finished this one today. It is made from 3/16" 1095. The handle is Imistag. I wasn't real happy with this Imistag. Rather than being jigged, it was cut with a drill and made up of lots of small circular divets. This was also my first attempt at a satin finish. Thanks to Richard for pointing me in the right direction with that. The sheath is 8/9 oz, dyed light brown and treated with a mixture of beeswax and mink oil. I used a heat gun to heat the sheath after treatment to deepen the color.
Suggestions, comments welcome.
