Finished! Well, mostly

[Rusty Snuffers]

I still have to clean up the file work but 4 coats of Tru-Oil and the handle is done.  How'd I do?

Handle:



And the file work:
   

I like the way it came out and am anxious to start another, now that I've learned a bit of what I need to do to make the next one better.  I'll likely go with a lighter wood too.  I like the richness of the ebony but it doesn't look as good in pictures.  

Thanks for looking.

Looks like a great job to me! Those are some sharp blades aren't they! I always had a heck of a time not scratching them though. Even with tape on 'em. Can't wait to see your next one!

[Rusty Snuffers]

There's a reason I didn't show the other side.        Dang slip of the file...      

And yes, scary sharp.
