Tried a bunch of new stuff on this knife and sheath. Some worked out great and some not so great. The not so great ideas got scrapped, but were a great learning experience. This model is based off my Scoundrel and Ogre designs and turned out to be one comfortable knife. The white handle made it a bit difficult to photograph so bear with me on the pictures.

It still needs its edge and my makers mark but it's pretty much done. I will add a few pictures when totally complete. This one is going to an active soldier and will be my first knife to head overseas. It's a special one ;)

Thanks for checking it out!
 
Steven,
The grip does look comfy, I like how you did the index relief, palm swell and pinky area.

That sheath is too COOL! I'm sure he will be proud to use & wear that one.

Thanks, Mikey! He originally wanted his wife's family crest put on the sheath but scaling it down to fit made it look weird so I decided to throw in a little gift as a thank you to his service and am carving out her family crest in some leather. Something they can hang on the wall. Thinking he's going to love it when he opens the box.
