I just finished up this small utility knife, I forged this from a nicholson file with out having a real plan or style in mind.  I guess it is a "leaf" shape blade.  I clay coated the blade for the quench and it shows a less than perfect temper line.

A 416ss finger guard, stained figured curly maple handle, with Tung oil finish, modest silver wire inlay (my best yet), raised head copper pin and a Moran inspired bass wood lined raised pattern sheath.

The knife is 7 7/8" OAL 3 1/2" blade.

Beautiful Steve!  :clapper:
I'm loving the whole package. The handle shape, though, is stunning. I'd be tickled pink to find out that it's for sale  :D

That is just flat out COOL!   :clapper:
