And it's done Stu :You_Rock_

I couldn't be more happy with the way the knife has panned out, can't wait to get my grubby mitts on it now

 

[JonathanD]

That's a beaut mate. No fair, I want mine.

What sheath are you getting for it?

 

[Trunks]

That's a beaut mate.

It sure is. It took a few twists & turns along the way, but it looks better than i could have imagined I just need to put it through it's paces now...

What sheath are you getting for it?

Not sure yet! I have a design I'm working on, but can't make my mind up whether it's too busy & should just go for a plain one. Ah, decisions, decisions

I have to say that I'm delighted with this one, it really does work very well....

Though I've sung its' praises over on BB, I'm so impressed with that knife it's worth doing it again.

Stunning knife, it really appeals to me.

Pull yer finger out Mitchell. Honestly, less time forum gas-bagging and more working would help.

Hey Trunks, what wood is that? it's stunning, and a beaut of a knife!

It's a Desert Ironwood burl Southy

As Stu said, in the pics it's not completely finished off, so, doing things pics will have to wait...

 

[Trunks]

Mr Trunks

Hehe, Sunday name too! Or is it because you know I'm a teacher?

 

[Trunks]

We expect pictures in hand.

Only too happy to oblige

The balance point is just behind the finger recess - meaning it is just handle heavy - just the way i like it. But the weight balance is such, that it should be equally good for delicate work if i need to hold it closer to the blade too

Sat in my hand, a nice chunky handle for my shovels:

Grip making full use of the thumb-ramp:

Transposing the knife for some power cutting type move:

I know it's not finished yet & Stu sent it so i could check the grip - yes, I am that much of a PITA - but it's perfect as is. It's going straight back tomorrow, no changes from me.
