Just finished yestarday.
ATS-34 Bos HT, Titanium guard, Lignum Vitae handle

It is not quite visible, but I tried to make blade thicker at the begining.

Thanks, Vassili.

Love your handle design,goes well with that blade.Gorgeous piece of Lig.Vit.
How big is it? :thumbup:

 

[nozh2002]

Blade 6 5/16 x 1 27/64 x 3/16
Handle 4 15/16

Interesting feeling I have when handle it - it defenetly not a tool but weapon, however it is hunting weapon, weapon against a beast - bear, mountan lion, deer...

I'll make picture side by side with some well known knife to compare sizes.

This is one of the first stages of handle shaping:

Thanks, Vassili.
