Carved/Textured blackwood and bronze..

This completes an unmatched set of two hunting knives that were ordered for a guy to give to his boys.

I threw in a picture of the knife and all the parts right before glue-up just for fun. Everything is pinned together as well as glued so nothing can move or twist.

Specs:
Forged from 1084 steel
8 3/4" overall, 4 inch blade (3 1/2" sharp), .180" thick at the ricasso
African Blackwood handle with carving and texturing
Bronze guard with bronze and black g-10 accents
Bronze and black g-10 accent in handle

I sure am liking that one.... I thought it might be hard to get the two handle pieces to match up nicely with that spacer assembly towards the rear, but then I realized it was you making the knife . Great job and have a wonderful Christmas, John.
