One I Made For My Aunt
This one I made for my Aunt. I didn't want her to pay me for it but she insisted.
It's 440C stainless, rosewood handles,red liners, brass pins,and a mosaic pin too... She loves it.

Nice design. Fit and finish needs some work, but it looks like a nice knife.

Well in the photo it just looks like the blade finish and the lines around the handle scales are slightly rough. Mainly in the ricasso area. I'm certainly not trying to insult your work. I'm not in any position to do that even if I wanted to. It's a nice knife. Just trying to offer constructive criticism.

No insult taken sir, I need all the help I can get. I've only been doing this for a short time, and constructive criticism is always welcome. I enjoy all comments, in my selfishness. It means you looked at my work long enough to actually notice it.

Yep LOVE them red liners!!!!!!
I heat treat the easy stuff in my home made forge. The other stuff I have a friend close by that will do it for me.
