Looks comfy! I see you spent a lot of time on this, and it looks great. Rare are double bolsters on this. I like it.

This comment probably screams of 'newbie' but what the heck. I would assume the most common use for double bolsters would be to best protect a more valuable inset handle material from wear? (aside from the obvious aethetics)
Just curious if I'm warm. Julie  :confused:

No idea! haha.
It feels good in the pocket and adds a nice weight to the knife, though. Im going to get some better pictures because this one turned out really nice. Id like to know what the original purpose of rear bolsters are, though....im assuming like you said, they were meant to protect handle scales? Who knows..... Thanks for the comments!
