This one was heavily used and somewhat abused. The blades were pitted and badly stained but fairly full. I decided to hand finish the blades to a 400 grit finish. They cleaned up pretty well.
For the handles, I used some stabilized Amboyna wood and topped the mark side off with a custom stainless steel shield.
The pivot pin just flat out refused to blend in on the mark side so I left it (not a big issue but one of those things that just drives me crazy!!!).
She's ready for another few years of use.

Great looking knife, that shield was the first thing to catch my eye, perfect addition.

I love the shield, but also the beautiful grain on that wood!
It was a great choice, and you did a super job, as always!
