This one is out of 1084 and is 8" overall with the blade being 3 1/2" I'm pretty happy with the bevel on this one.

I'm using some stabalized pecan for the scales, with 3 mosaic pins and a lanyard tube.

That looks great Kev. Is the next step heat treating, or have you already done that?

I haven't heat treated it yet? It's a little hot right now, I might do it after dark.

Looking good. Are the holes in the handle just for weight reduction?

That, and it also gives the epoxy something to grab ahold to.

They are stabilized, the ones in the photo cracked on me so I had to cut some more, I've got them on right now, I'm waiting for the epoxy to set up.
