I am about finished with this knife but the photo is not ready yet. It's a simple hunter with a taste of trad on the blade.

Thats nice Lin.  How to file an arrow head would be a nice little WIP.

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.

This knife has taken on a personality as I progressively got it finished. Cant say why. I started with Cocobola on the handle, but it just was not working for me. I busted it off and put this nice piece of Ironwood on it. I'm much happier even though I love Cocobola. I'll try to have it professionally photographed. Time is pressing and I'm working on  big knife today trying to finish it for the show.

OK - now we get to see it.
I really, really like that arrowhead.

Very nice Lin. I love Cocobola but that Ironwood is very nice.

That ironwood is as nice or nicer than any cocobolo!  Your'e lucky to be able to work cocobolo. I have developed an allergy to it and it makes my eyes swell and skin itch. I do love it though. That's a beautiful knife!
