Here is a knife I made for my brother-in-law to use hacking his way to streams to fly fish. It is my first completed knife that was not a kit. It is inspired by the incredible work of Brian Goode. 12" OAL, 6.5 blade, Dymondwood scales, stainless pins and thong tube, 1/4" 5160 spring stock, mustard patina. Haven't sharpened it yet, but will get to that tonight. Sheath is a Spec Ops Combat Master in black. Is there anything I should finish the dymondwood with? It seems to me it'd be pretty tough, being a laminated wood.

good looking knife! Take the towel out and try to snap a picture. It may show more detail :) You can always go outside, in the shade someplace and get a good image easy as well.
 
Thanks Brian. I'd go outside, but it's cold out there! =) I am still working on building a real photo box, not a cardboard job with a piece of white paper taped to the top.
 
put mustard on the blade... =) washed first with windex (twice), didn't touch it afterwards, dabbed the Frenches on with a paper towel. let it hang for about 5 minutes. washed off with windex. i really like the look, and it seems to help prevent rust, at least it does the blade that's in my car. the parts not mustarded (hmm... is that a word?) have a red haze to them.
 
Hmmmmm...vely intresting...I think I might just have to try it! Thanks for the idea! All kinds of possibilities! Bill
 
Good looking knife, I like the mustard patina on a knife you know is going into some rough area's. Dymond wood if I remember rite is stabilized layers of birch wood, so treat it like you would stabilized wood. I only used it a few times, but what I did was sand to 600 grit then buffed.
