    Just finished hunting knife with damascus blade, walnut scales, green micarta liners and brass pins.
    Just needs some oil and a leather sheath and it's ready for some action.
    Thanks to @gonetropo for helping out with the wood for the scales and @viper for inspiration and showing some different colors in a hunting knife

    Looks awesome mate, great effort. Geez and you give me shit for using those blue liners
    All I can say is be careful...it can get a bit addictive.

    Another tale of a modified knife. It started out as a Spyderco Junction. The blade was exactly what I wanted, but it needed a new handle - in blue G10 so I don't lose it!

    A couple of decorative mosaic pins would finish it off nicely.

    Something different , a Kephart design knife.
    Horace Kephart was a trained librarian and writer from the turn of last century in America.
    When he went on his extended trips into the wilderness he carried three things. A short Tomahawk, a fixed blade and a small 3 inch folding knife.
    Around 1900 to 1904 it looks like his design went commercial ( see Advert ) , I have know idea how successful these were.
    The design is still copied today by the likes of Bark River and many other.
    I got asked to build this so here is "my " version of a Kephart.
    Full grind, double liners, 14c28n , brass pins and lanyard , 5 inch blade. Name:  kephart-with-actual-600x291.jpg

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I think that might be A2 steel. Less chippy than D2.
