this isn´t a fancy custom :)
a friend of mine just started to hunt,
she wanted a knife like noone else had
and easy ti find if she dropped it..
att the same time a usable design...
so i came upp with this.... :)
overall length 8" the blade is made out of 12C27
scales are pink...
here are a couple i finished today,
1st a small recurve oal, 6½" with stabilized and coloured box elder
next is a hunter oal 6.22" with stabilized masurbirch
