Just finished Sheath for the first 2011 knife
OAL is 8 3/4" blade from tip to plung is 3 3/4" Dove tailed bolsters, tang is file worked , Jade spacer and maple burl handle. I have a lot of new things coming this year.
Just got around to taking pictures. This is the first knife that I'v made with spacers on a full tang.

Great looking piece, Art.

The colors of the scales/bolsters/spacers looks great. Fit appears excellent, too. The filework is super and adds a nice touch of class. Your sheathwork is outstanding.

All in all I think it's awful. You should send it to me so I can dispose of it properly.

I'll bring it to the guild meeting so you can pick it apart.

PS: thought I'd have a knife with carved bolsters , but I guess not this time.
