First knife I made for myself

Well we'll see if I manage to hang on to this one. This is the first knife that I made specfically for me. It is one of my Sparrow patterns.




Specs:
Steel: S30V Hand Rubbed Finish
Blade Length: 3 1/4"
Overall Length: 7 1/2"
Handle: Some type of Burl Wood (bought it from WSSI in their bargain bin at Blade)
Pin: Mosaic
Guard: 416SS
Sheath: Leather, also made by me

Thanks for looking,
Sean

Sean, You done good. I really think you got a deal on the Burl Wood.

The handle is beautieful. I love your guard shape and fit. The blade

grind and shape are excellent. Are you sure your going to keep this one.

Thanks for sharing such a master peace. A fine job, well done.
Jim

Thanks everyone!

I spoke with Mike at WSSI, he thinks the handle is Afzelia Burl.
