For your review

I thought I'd post this and see what y'all think. This is an Oconee with green canvas micarta scales and brass pins. Made from 3/8" OTS (Old Truck Spring). 3 3/4" X 1" blade 8 5/8" overall. Although I did use some power while making it, a lot of the final shaping and finishing is done by hand so I thought you folks might be interested.

Comments and critiques are welcome.

Thanks for looking,
Carey

Thanks for the kind words.

The micarta is store bought green canvas with a 240 grit finish so it has a little 'tooth' to it.

Looks like a very nice clean user package. Smooth eye pleasing lines, and well done sheath too. Bravo! Like the dark blade too.

Very nice design and well done Carey. I like green canvas micarta a lot with a matte finish.

Thanks Tim,

The micarta has a nice feel to it even if it ain't tribal.

Carey
