The handle work looks great! What did you do to the blade to get that finish, reheat?
---- PS - Here's the kit he built it from. Now you can see how much work was done to get to his finish point. Don Robinson did some great instructions on the build out.

Alex, it's surely nice to see you're still alive! Are you still under a hundred years old?
Great to hear from you, old friend. |

How do you form the dome on the larger pin bottom center of the knife? What keeps that pin from walking out if you don't have a head of some sort on it?

Tap them to swell them inside the material. That process also anchors them, and helps to hold the material down. You can then use a head-spinner to smooth off the leading edge of the pin.
