Composite handle
Tried something different this time. Home stabilized Yellow Birch, plus (unstabilized) African Blackwood bolster and a slice of 20 thou aluminum to dissect the two. I used an oval template to lay out the pieces and hand shaped them to fit.
The knife is 1/8" 154CM and keeps a kind of simple shape, but the curves are appealing and the overall package was a hit with my customer. The trick of this project was to keep the aluminum strips perfectly in line while fixing the scales. I have a post on my blog if you want to see how it went together. Thanks for looking! Dan |

Nice job man! I have to say I go by your blog quite a bit and I admire the attention to detail you put in all your work. Maybe the knife has a simple shape, but like most of your knives it's elegant. Keep the knives coming man.
Also, where's the sheath??? You know us knife guys have to see the sheath. __________________ -Hunter |

I don't like composition handles. But I like that one. Materials and contrast are perfect.

Thanks guys. Here is her "boring" brother. Same steel and heat treat, but stabilized dyed blue maple scales.

I know everyone wants to see the sheath. It's been a while, but I got around to this on the weekend. Hoping for a tobacco sunburst type effect.
