Here's one I just finished that I liked the results of.  It's a small caper (6" oal) made from reclaimed saw steel that was heavily etched in a salt/vinegar/lemon juice solution.  The quilted maple scales, which are slightly ebonized using the remnants of the etching solution, are attached with a mosaic pin, a Corby bolt, and rustic piened copper tubing.  The scales have no finish on them, as the fella it's off to keeps bees and wants to apply his own homemade beeswax finish. The embossed neck sheath is made for handle-down carry.  The lanyard is hand-laid from 10 strands of linen spun and dyed by a friend of mine.  Thanks for looking.  As always, critique is welcome.  

Great blade shape. Very nice knife.

Beautiful, original, and functional.

Great looking knife....made one similar a couple years ago with deer antler handle...great little skinning knife....mine is not as well finished as yours...great job!!

These knives are the bomb!

I like it alot!
Nice job.

Wow!  All around great package from the sheath to the end of the handle.  I love the finish on the great maple and the mosic pin is great.

Beautiful work!

Everything is nice.  Total package.

Yea, it's all top notch!!  I love how you did that maple. It looks deep!

Thanks, gents.  I appreciate the kind words.     I learn more with each one I finish.  It's getting just a little bit addicting
