You guys consider this a traditional fixed blade?

I'm new around these parts, so forgive me if this doesn't fit in here. This is a knife I just finished up last week. It's 9.25" OAL with a 4.5" blade out of 1084 steel that was edge quenched. The scales are walnut leftover from my dad's cabin project, with copper pins. The sheath is deer rawhide over veggie tanned leather, with a snakeskin cuff and belt loop.

Mods, if this doesn't fit here axe away.
 
It fits to my way of thinking. Could be right out of the Old West.

The sheath nails the traditional mindset. I love it, and it really reminds me of John Cohea/Daniel Winkler/Matt Liesnewski. I really like their work, and that style/pattern is right up my alley. I really like the hamon, and overall, it looks good. I was going to suggest a force patina like John/Dan/Matt use, but I think an earned patina would be better.

I really like it.
 
Very traditional, and quite functional I am sure. Great job.

By the way, love the use of copper pins. You should see how they look used with Osage Orange some day. :thumbup:
 
Just a beautiful knife! I, for one, would like to see more of this knife and any others you might have. Thanks for sharing
 
Looks pretty traditional to me. You have a good eye for design...

Thanks man. I love John's work, and his DVD is what got me started on this style sheath.
