Timbers were inside Osage and outer Conkerberry, Leather wrist wrap with antler button.

That's a beautiful lil knife there Wayno!

That edge is lookin mighty sharp and the grip looks a treat. Like the old adage says, less is more
How'd you get that rough dimpled look? It's the icing on the cake and I reakon the knife would look quite mundane with out it. Top job :clap:

Cmoore cant take the credit for the Hammered dimpled look at was already on the blank when I brought it. It was one of the reasons though why I brought that style. Guess I will have to look at a sheath for it now.

Cheers Wayno

Top looking knife Wayno!! Love the drop point blade shape.

How did you harden the stainless blade? Ive ready heat treating stainless is a bit of a procedure...

Cheers,

Colin

that is my kind of knife.
Handy size, drop point, full length tang and a deep blade.
just perfect all rounder in my eyes.
Well Done

Finished the new sheath for the misses, but just have to figure out what type of clip to put on it now.
