I make this knife two years ago,.Someone ask me to make some kind of red wood handle and a leather sheat an send me one inox blade, Taiwan provenience, i think it was a budget Rambo stile knife before.
So, i put an oak handle, i paint it with leather paint to be some red colour, and i make a sheat from 4mm leather.

Three years ago, in september 2013, i make to mi own use a knife, steel is 2,2 mm sawblade, plum wood scales with red liner.Seems something stupid to put same color liners, but in that time i like what i see in after finish.Leather sheath with 5 mm hard leather.
The grind is almost scandi in that time i dont have a grinder, so it not a perfect grind, but is a functionable knife, scarry sharp.

I like this wood, must se it more often.
