Les Vorhies 1075 hunter with ebony scales

[Marijn]

Well, it was a nice sunny day so I got around to finishing this one.

Its a Les Vorhies hunter type blade in 1075 steel.
The handle is polished ebony with red vulcanised fiber spacers and brass pinns.
Got some scraches on the underside of the handle, but i'm pretty happy with the overall picture (considering this is the 2nd knife i've fitted with a handle)

Well enjoy the pics!
I'm going to wach it for a couple of days before i'm goingto find a new owner for it.

The first pic is pre-polishing.
and the last is sowing a bit of polishing compound whitch is now cleaned.

A strange looking knife with a curiously art deco quality somehow - I do like something a bit different - how is it to hold?

Needs something in black and silver as a sheath with angular lines methinks!

that really looks rather "gentlemanly" I like it!
I agree with Red - black, silver and angles for the sheath would look great

Wel surprisingly as it may be, it's achually pretty comfy to handle.

I'm planning on selling it (te buy more materials, got plenty o knifes, but still like making em) so i'm not going to use it for anything hard.

The decision to go with this handle wasmade the moment i saw the blade, it simply fits it!

@ Penvisser, started on the two you have already?
