I've been way too busy trying to finish construction on my shop (in addition to all my other responsibilities) and haven't been able to work on knives much lately. Shop is almost done, so hopefully things will slow down soon. I thought I would follow suit and periodically update this thread with some examples of my work. I was able to get this one done recently, and am pretty happy with how it turned out. - Hunter/skinner - 80crv2 high-carbon steel - Acid-etch / stone-wash finish - Burlap micarta handle, micarta pins w/brass accents, and white/black G10 liner/accents. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/08/full-67594-396070-img_1130.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/08/full-67594-396071-img_1131.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/08/full-67594-396072-img_1132.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/08/full-67594-396073-img_1133.jpg)
