Lost Treasure

[Woodcutter]

Whilst sorting out my garage/workbench at the weekend I came across this little beauty I started but didn't finish. I had forgotten all about it.

Not sure where the blade came from, I am sure I bought it off someone on BB though, it was a different shape when I first got it, slightly upswept but I didn't like it so changed it to this shape.

The scales are buffalo horn over thick red liners, pins are not mine but I am sure someone will admit to making them (I hope so, I want some more?) its 175mm overall, blade 75mm, the buffalo horn isn't pure black so you can see some white flashes in there.

All it needs now is some leather, not sure whether to do that myself or get one of you guys that know what you are doing to clothe it for me. Anyhow, here are some pics. Hope you like it, its been a while since I posted something I have made.

PS. quite pleased with the pics too, taken with a nifty fifty on my EOS 500D.

That is a nice on the eye. Really like those slabs, it sets off the whole knife.

I really like the red/black contrast. Kind of adds a certain something to the whole thing.

Nice one!

Nice knife!
I like the texturing on the blade.
Personally, given the modern look of the knife, I would go for another material for a sheath. I don´t think leather will match with the look of the knife.
Is it possible to sand and polish something like kydex?
