Folding hunter

Finished this one over the weekend,started several months ago.
This is my second folder and my seventh handmade knife.
I had to do the spring twice, first time a little weak and the second time
a little strong, has great snap! I just hope not to much.
I soldered the bolsters and did a good job peining the rear bolster but you can still see the pins on the front. I was worried about geting things too tight on the pivot.
4 1/2" closed
8" OAL
1080 steel
nickel/silver bolsters
sambar stag
brass pins and liners
hope you like it give me you opinions and suggestions.

With every custom knife I build I try to accomplish three things. I want that knife to look so good you just have to pick it up, feel so good in your hand you can't wait to try it, and once you use it, you never want to put it down !
If I capture those three factors in each knife I build, I am assured the knife will become a piece that is used and treasured by its owner!
