Made this new knife.

[Richie'66]

Made this bushy styled knife , just finished it actually and rushed some pics for you lot to oggle !
This knife has been an absolute joy to make.

Blade is 01 steel which has been heat treated.
Thickness of blade is 5mm in the handle and 4mm at the blade spine.
Flat taper grind all the way up to the spine.
Blade length is 3 1/2 inches.
Total length is 8 1/2 inches.

Handle material is bone corian.
Brass Loveless bolts and 8mm brass lanyard hole.
Red fibre liners.

This will be up for sale once it's passed the 3rd quality control inspector and had a sheath made for it as I'm amassing quite a few knives

What do you think ?

Cheers fellas , the only way I can think of to improve just such a knife is to use a stainless blade and stainless loveless bolts and lanyard hole.
I say improve but what I really mean is super clean.
As yet I don't know where to find such material for the blade plus to be honest I've never really been a fan of stainless blades........they've had a bad rep in the past.

HI Richie, good looking knife , the corian scales look good .
I went round to see my mate that works with corian but
the place was all shut up i think due to the snow.
I'll get back there this week to see what he has.
