I liked this knife more before I finished it. I didn't polish to a mirror because I'm going to EDC this knife.
It's 1075 1/8" thick with cocobollo wood. Did the HT myself. Not sure at all about the Rockwell.

I forget to mention OAL is 6" BL is 2.5" height is 1". I tried to pin the slabs but the first drill bit was a hair small and the next size up was to big. 7/32" drill bit does not work for 7/32 brass rod. Go figure? Next time I will use a dial indicator.
Any suggestions on a good tutorial on sheath making?
Any and all comments are appreciated , I have thick skin.

Good looking knife there... for the pins it's been said that you want to use a reamer bit, there's a thread here about that.

Maybe use a micrometer next time.
 
Good work, on your next one try bringing the plunge lines up higher, it will improve cutting performance and make the knife lighter.
