The ratbrand line grows

so, I did the single blade trapper, working on a sunfish and grandaddy barlow. I have been up to my ears in work, and am out of the supplies I need to finish the two knives mentioned above. I managed to snag a couple free hours this evening and started on a hawkbill. The liners are only temporary, I plan to work out a different design tonight, something like a trapper frame maybe, barehead of course

. It will probably get some nice stag

. All the moving parts are fitted, just need some new liners, bolsters, scales and a final edge, I'm leaving it a fine brushed finish.

MM, is that ricasso etched? It loks like it might even be damascus.

no etch, and not damascus, just some patina.

Man, are my eyes really getting that bad? Gee, that looks like it's etched.
Oh, while I"m here here's a number a wooden handled hawkbill. I think it's cammilus. 150125038430
