Hey guys! I just finished up another one of my Compact scouts. This one is dark acid washed CPM-154. It has a maroon linen micarta handle, tapered tang and my hybrid copper/carbon fiber pins. This is the first time I have done them in 3/8". I am sure they aren't for everyone, but I think they look pretty cool and unique.
Oal is 8 1/2" and the blade is 3 5/8", just right for a hunter or EDC.

All comments and critiques welcome!

That's nice.  Those micarta handles are finally starting to grow on me, and the pins look great.

I like that! I've always enjoyed micarta and it's as close to bullet proof as you're likely to find. I'm thinking the mosaic pins I've been using are getting a bit trite. That knife, especially with the tapered tang just reeks class.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

That looks like a great skinner!

Aint a thing wrong with it. This is a perfect little hunting knife.
