Spalted Madrone Burl and Forged L6

Not really sure what to call this one......maybe a small fighter ? what would you call it ?
I took two of my templates and blended them..........
9.5'' of razor sharp hair splittin L6 steel...
Spalted Madrone burl with 2 part black/rustic spacer material
nickel silver pins.....
in case you wanna shave your arms or legs it'll do it no problem...........

here is the template.......


and almost finished....still needs a leather jacket of some kind....any suggestions ?

If its for shaving arms and legs maybe you could offer it to Bruce Jenner. He might want to shave or maybe bob a few things with it.

Other than that, it might not be very PC (as if I worry much about that!) to call it a fighter but you could easily call it a camp knife. As for a sheath, if you can pick up some of the wood's color in the leather that would probably look good. Your sheath designs are terrific so I have faith this one will be great no matter what you decide to do...

I like it just fine as a camp knife you can fight with. Ditto Ray on the sheath, know you'll do it proud. Don't think I'd want Bruci touching anything of mine.........

Wow thats a beautiful knife, especially the handle. I don't know how you would do it but maybe a color scheme similar to the handle would be good.
