[Hugo]

Finished this off yesterday, it needs a little cleaning but is very sharp and is good to go.
quite pleased with the outcome, going to let my bimble buddies try it out later this week.
Thanks for looking.

Really nice, where did you get the blank from if you don't mind me asking?

Great knife! Did you made the blade? Sorry I cant remember by the makers mark, although it looks familiar.

Wot e said! Now that would be a knife I'd buy. Got three whittling knives already but that one is soooooo sweeeeeet.

The spalted beech came from a log a friend gave me some while back, I cut the log into sections so as to dry it out faster and leave pieces in a warm place so as to speed up the process.
@milus The blade is a polar one, they come blackened except for the grind edge so I clean and polish them up and also work the spine so it is a mirror finish.
Thanks for the replies guys.

Love the spalting, and I expect it'll be really comfortable in the hand. Always liked the Scandi barrel shape

Nice to see something with a chunky handle. Looks stunning! I'll have to check out Polar blades now and explain to swimbo why I need another blade....
