Here's the last one for 2013. Elmax stainless, ironwood handle,  5" blade,9 1/2"overall . Guess you'd consider it a fighter.

And the file  work. Sure wish I knew how to post it all in one picture.

Sure looks great. Combining them in one picture takes a program like Photoshop were you cut them out and composite them. You can put mulitple photos in one post by continuing to insert an image code each place you want to add a photo.

Looks like a very well designed knife with great materials.  I like how the back of the raised clip lends itself to another grip option.  
I like it very much.
Thanks for sharing it.

Very nice knife. I think it would work very well as a hunter too. Especially on larger game.

What is the Elmax steel? Forgive me, but I'm not very familiar with some of the stainless names.

Thanks all.
Lin,
Elmax is a third generation powder steel made by Uddeholm, a Swedish company. The grain size is very small allowing a finer edge and other better steel characteristics. I've used it on a couple of knives now and it seems to work really well. Of course, nothing is better than a good forged carbon blade.:0)

Thanks for the explanation. I have noticed that you always pic very high contrast ironwood for your handles. That's my favorite of the ironwood patterns.

I like the high contrast also. Really makes the handle pop out. My favorite wood is ironwood, but it really gums up the sanding discs real quick, especially the dark grain area in the wood.

Yeah, but it's worth it. Those are some very spectacular colors in that piece of wood!

That's a wicked looking blade too.
