Just finished this little guy (again); I've had several handles on it and nothing just jumped out at me. So today I made this micarta pattern, it's slim and I'm happy with the results, the handle is slim but fits great in my hand, and I have big hands. The blade is 3 1/8 inches over all the knive is 7 5/16, the blade is 7/8 at the widest part. I used four 1/8 in brass pins and one ΒΌ mosaic pin. I make and do everything myself, mosaic pins, micarta, and sheaths, no one else by me touches my knives. The sheath is veg tan leather antiqued finish and topped off with neatsfoot oil, double stitched and welted.
Good to be making knives for myself again; I've been super busy getting out some custom orders. I hope to finish at least five knives before Saturday, I have two finished but I still need to make sheaths for; I like to have five or six knives done before I spend half a day making sheaths.
