Finished a knife for customer.

I just finished this one for a customer. His first bushcraft knife. 7 1/4 OAL. Blade length is 3 1/2. The scales are walnut with brass pins and it is made from 1095. I have two bald spots on my arm because of this knife!

That turned out well.
Take up forging your blades and all the spots you miss shaving/test you can singe off while you forge.
Better than the "Ronco Hair Remover" for $19.99.

Nice job man. Is it just the lighting or do you have a black coating on your flats?

I have burned enough hair off lighting my propane forge! I left the heat treat/temper finish on the flats.
