Nice clamp! Thanks for showing that part.
Looks great!
I wonder what the sheath will be like...

That "leather food" sure did make that handle POP! Looks super.

What the heck is leather food anyway?

Thanks very much for your supportive comments guys

. I've done as much as I can with the handle. It turned out a little darker than I expected, but overall I'm happy with it. Just need to finish the brass fittings and polish the blade.

Nice Job! I'm digging that stacked leather...turned out really nice

My first fixed blade looked more like a crude prison shank

Thanks for the updates and sharing!

The is the knife pretty much completed. It could use a few final finishing touches. I'm quite pleased with my first attempt. Thanks very much to everyone for your interest, advice and encouragement. I greatly appreciate it.

Thank you very much. I have a folder idea using some old Sheffield parts or a few options for another fixed blade including a small bowie and a very small full tang. I haven't decided at the moment.

Very well done

I really like the larger handle!

Hi Steve:
Don't get on here to much anymore. Found your building project and it is pretty much like every thing you attempt. Excellent.
