Here is the reusltof a commission that I've just finished. The blade (and overall knfe) is based on the pattern that Rob Evans sent me for his blade.

Blade Length…….13 ½” (11 ½” cutting edge)
Overall Length…...19”
Blade….CS80CrV2 high carbon steel, forge finish
Handle………….. English Yew
Furniture………...Mosaic pins and brass lanyard
Sheath…………….Brown leather, semi dangler

That is stunning. The yew handle really compliments the blade.

yeah, it was nice bit of wood that originally the customer wanted green micarta, but changed his mind when I got in touch to let him know I was about to start work. Glad he did really, looks much better I think
