W2 Fixed EDC w/checkering & koa inlays

[J. Doyle]

I just finished one of my "patch knife" edc fixed blades with some dressed up handle details.

Forged from W2 steel, 3" blade 7 1/4" overall. African blackwood heirloom fit scales with checkered bolsters and stabilized koa inlays. Fileworked thumb grip.

Outstanding.
Is that checkering done in place, or as an inlay?

Handsome blade.... Looking forward to the pants too!

The non showside hamon looks like a mountain range!!

If I had a knife from you…this would be the one.

Just superb, John.
