Sometimes you get surprised and your work comes out better than you expected.  This finger guard came out really neat with the way the old file pattern spread and curved around it.  No need to show the whole knife as this is what I'm looking for  :)   Doc

Wow Doc,

That looks like a fingerprint on there.  I love it.

Real nice Doc! I really like that finger guard style and the file pattern really sets it off.
Untested ideas are not facts.

Looks awesome.  Can you repeat the hammering process to repeat the pattern?

Skill is not born into anyone.  It is earned thru hard work and perseverance.

That almost looks like you did it on purpose!
Pretty slick, dude.
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

That is so nice. Hammer control is why. Good job. Lin

Practice like you are the worst, shoot like you are the best...

Looks like wood grain. It would be cool to match it up with some burl with a similar pattern.

I like it!
