Hey Guys i thought i'd share some of my handy work

This is my third knife, it got started and then put on a shelf and forgotten, this one is going to be my personal knife so other peoples knives cam first. I've finished another 3 since starting this one and thought it might be a good idea to get it finished!

So here goes its 4mm O1 steel and with a scandi grind and Canadian Maple scales Pins are just Aluminium round bar stock

You'll have to excuse the sheath as its my first try and it still needs finishing (ie stitching staining and burnishing the edges)

Looks like a work of art. How many hours go into a knife like that?

this one took me about20 hours of work but that was spread over a few weeks as i have to fit it around work. I have made some with more intricate filework on the spine and such.

Nice blade Dave. Looks great, and the sheath will look perfect. It has a fantastic shape and style to it, even without staining and stitching.

Big thumbs up mate.
