Just finished this one. Blade is CPM154 and 7" long, 3/16 thick. Handle is desert ironwood with stainless steel bolster. Overall knife is 13.5". Figured I'd try something a little different.

Beauty!
What was your finish on the handle? Looks real glossy. Did you buff it as well?

No finish on the handle. Ironwood is very dense and oily. I just sanded it down to 600 grit and polished it with white rouge.
