Got this one done yesterday. Steel is 1/8" O-1, convex ground, file work on the spine, Osage handle with 1/8" copper pins. I'll be making a few of these to sell.:D
 
Oh yeah, Wa..Wa..Wally, that one's a beauty.

IG finished that one up yesterday while I was over at his house. The handle wood is really cool, the grain on the left and right side of the tang just flows together. Very nice file work also.

Good one Wa..Wa..Wally. :thumbup:
 
IG, I really, really like that knife. I think Osage is sadly underutilized in knifemaking and I seriously dig the proportions on that blade. It just looks RIGHT, you know?
 
Hey Will, I tell him that constantly, but I think he thinks it's a good thing!!:rolleyes::D

Seriously, I got to handle this one yesterday and it really does just float in the hand. Pretty much the tangible definition of what a knife shoud be.
Not bad at all for an old Portagee biker:D
 
I really like that. Trade knives are sweet.
