Here is my latest project forged from a old Nicholeson file. 8.5 inches OAL, 3.5 inch blade.
Claybacked for the quench and shows a nice temper line. Flaired finger guard. A random pattern file work on the spine. Burl handle, used Potassium Permangnate instead of stain and WATCO Danish oil finish.

Man that's sweet, Steve.
that knife looks better everytime i look at it. the wood is some striped maple i had left over from a hawk handle that i traded steve for some work he did for me. hoping i have a little more in my wood bucket.
Nice looking piece. I love the color you got from the potassium permanganate.
That is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. From the standpoint of someone who just started my first knife last week I stand amazed at what is possible.

Wow, nice to see this one back up! Well my wife claimed this one so I made a special sheath, the hart is a piece from a old whitetail shead. Basswood lined.
Sorry about the less than good background for the photo.
