Hazel handle and sheath whittler (hope this one don't break)

[Paddytray]

I've made a whittling knife for a gift . The previous handle broke so I tried again . And came up with this . O1 steel & I'm told the wood is hazel .
It still needs a good clean up and final sharpening /hone . But I'm happy with it

Thats very nice!! Really love the single piece handle and sheath! Any chance of some pics of the complete blade too perhaps?

Cheers guys !.
The blade itself is just a tiddler but it's sharp and seems to stay sharp.
The wood was my fire stick from a recent camp @ http://www.inwoodcamping.co.uk
I took it home and stood it in pva & water for a few days turning it every day.
Till I was happy it wouldn't crack .
I left it to slowly dry from my shed rafters for a few days coating it daily in linseed till that stopped soaking in .
I'm happy with the result . Here's the blade
