I appreciate your comments.
Walnut scales with a linseed oil and wax finish, on a blued, triple tempered 1095 blade.
4 1/8" cutting edge, 8 7/8" overall, 1/8" thick.
Blade has a high flat grind with a small secondary bevel.
Handle scales are 4 1/2" and the handle is 1" wide at the widest and 1" thick at the thickest. I put a lot of thought in the ergonomics of the handle shape. Most people will find the grip comfortable in a variety of grips.
The sheath is oil finished Buffalo leather over a Kydex liner.

Sometimes when I'm working on a knife they take on a personality. This knife makes me think of Dads old Winchester single shot 12 gage. made in 1939 and well loved through the years. Lot of people learned to shoot on that gun.
The soft glow of the walnut and the faded bluing just make you want to have it in your hand. I could make this knife shinier, but I don't think it would look better.

Great looking knife! That does look like one comfortable dark walnut handle that just wants to be held. I'll take it, please!
 
I haven't been able to stop looking at this since I stumbled across it. How do you prefer that I contact you regarding payment?

Thanks,
Ray
 
I have not commented on your blades before but have looked at them. I think you offer some great and practical designs at fair prices. IMO this is your best knife so far.
 
Thanks all for looking. I really appreciate the feed back. I was preoccupied and forgot to change this one to SOLD Thanks woodgood
If you like this one look at the one I titled Zebra and Buffalo
 
I received this knife today and man am I pleased (AKA one happy camper)! That was a fast delivery by USPS too from coast to coast across our great US in less than three days.

This knife is simply elegant. It's one handsome knife both rugged and refined looking at the same time.

The contoured handle fits my hand like a glove. It's dark, nicely grained, walnut handle is a handful with smooth edges that offers many different holds. All of which are comfortable.

The blued blade combined with the dark wood look great together. As Mike suggested, it does remind me of an old favorite gun's appearance.

The buffalo leather sheath completes the look with a soft feel and sure fit of the blade in the kydex insert.

I know that I'm going to enjoy using this knife!
 
Woodgood, glad you received it and I knew it was going to be nice. I just sent the payment for the zebrawood bushcrafter today. The painful part for me is waiting for it to arrive. Congrats on your new blade.
