I've just about finished this one so i thought i'd see what people think. Hardly one for the purists, but i like it and it is for me. It's just under 5mm thick 01 steel,277mm OAL, 150mm blade with a high grind and secondary bevel. The handle is ghost green jade G10 ,white liners and 7mm stainless pins and lanyard tube. Oh, and a little bit of basic vine and thorn filework.
Comments welcome!

Seriously good looking knife.

Excellent workmanship, and double points for making what appeals to you instead of staying mainstream.

Your knife has faint echoes of the Bark River Knife & Tool Bravo (which is a compliment, for those who may be wondering :D) an of Guy Stainthorp's knives, but it is original and different at the same time.

I really like it, and no doubt it will provide years of active service.

It is based around the Bark River Bravo 1 shape to a certain degree.

Thanks Stu, very much appreciated !
I'm sure you could do far better than my attempts. I'm finding out that patience is the real key to improving quality when it comes to making knives.
I've got a tendancy to move on to the next stage when i'm not quite finished the stage i'm on.
As usual........learning the hard way!
