Stock removal from a Nich file for blade and bolsters. Cocobolo handles. We had a white Xmas in Dallas and this knife went to my dad today.

Thanks for all of the feedback. Dad was very happy. I'm hooked and have been diligently working on knife #2.

that's nice, you did a very good job, once you get the bug you can't get enough of it.
