My Latest Creation

Hi guys, this is a knife I made for a friend, he is the guy who gave me the wood for the scales.
The steel is Bohler N690 Stainless, with wild olive scales and brass pins.

I like the blade, and over all it looks well made. The handle shape? A tad boring, resembling a broom stick. Explore a little to get a better flow, something more for the eye.

Looks good. Handle shape may be a little plain, but if he likes it then that's what matters. A little more shape to it may provide better grip allowing it to be handled better and more comfortably. Just my 2 cents.

Have any other views of the handle? Maybe we're not seeing it as you see it.
Is a little "plain looking" in relation to the quality of the blade and the handle material. However if it is what the customer wanted then it is fine.....they are always right.

Thanks for the comments guys, the handle is a bit boring but the customer loves it. It is made to be used hard, The customer is a professional hunter so it should see some good use this next hunting season.

That skinner style blade should prove very useful for hunting applications. I like that blade shape. Not only pleasing to the eye but THE blade for skinning game.
