This is the second knife I have done with a shield. I hate poorly fitted shields with ugly gaps so I had shields and routing templates made using spark erosion so its very precise. The shield fit is not perfect but you need a magnifier to see any gaps in the fit.



 
Nice knife. I like the lack of unnecessary nail Nick/pull since it is pinchable. Makes for a clean look and no fuss all action. Very well done!
 
That is very nice! Great job on the shield, nice blade shape, and I like the mill relieved liners too.
 
I really like the clean lines of the Shing knives I have seen. Unfortunately, I don't believe there are any distributors in the States.
 
Looks good to me, especially on light colored scales which will SCREAM out any imperfections in the shield placement and fit.

Between 1962 and 1964 I worked with one of the very first Electro Discharge machines in Vancouver BC. I think we called them Electron Erosion Machines in those days
 
Grand job on inletting the shield! I can think of many knives where this is not the case.....:rolleyes::grumpy:

The scales are a very nice choice too, aesthetics are a vital in the Traditional knife to my mind.:)
 
Nice looking knife! I haven't put any shields on my fixed up knives for the exact reason you speak of:)
 
I love singel blade wharncliffes and I love this knife! Very nice work sir! That sharpening notch really completes it in my opinion.
