This one is out of 1084 and is 8" overall with the blade being 3 1/2" I'm pretty happy with the bevel on this one. I'm using some stabalized pecan for the scales, with 3 mosaic pins and a lanyard tube.

That looks great Kev. Is the next step heat treating, or have you already done that?

Looking good. Are the holes in the handle just for weight reduction?

Looks good.
Don't let thr heat whip you.... that knife is not going to finish itself.
I fought Him, ran from Him, thought I could do it all without Him, but when I finally turned to Him, He opened his arms and took me in.
