Bark-er-ized handle

[skipknives]

Last week I got invited to go on a two week camp/fishing trip,,whee haw
then I realized I didn't have a knife that I could call my own,,,,yes there is a joke in there somewhere when a knife maker doesn't have a knife,,,,so I made this one for me.

the handle is Ironwood that has been "Bark-er-ized" (looks like tree bark)
and I didn't worry about getting out all the scratches out of the blade.
my goal was to make a good "working knife" with max grip.

now I need to make a lefty belt sheath for it.
PS: OAL is 8.5 inches with a 4.0inch blade from tip to bolsters.
the bolsters have been sculpted for my "Sheath-Latch" that is why they are concave.
