Whale's Tooth

[John Cahoon]

Ahoy, Just putting the final touches on this one. I struggled with naming the style, it's Persian-esque I suppose but finally realized it looked like a whale tooth. It's in .19" 440C, 9.5" with a 5" blade and 1 7/8" tall. The bevels are finished to a satin 1500 grit. The scales are Granadillo with thin black liner and 3/16" brass pins. I think the brass looks real good next to the reddish hardwood. I hope you do too! Comments/critique welcome as always.

The blade looks clean. I like the texture on the flats. Little figure in the wood handle. Nice.
