[Ernie Swanson]

Here is my 12th Knife

3/16'' 1095, Heat treated by Peter's
OAL - 9''
Blade - 3 9/16''
Handle - 4 15/16''
Scales - Stabilized and dyed Box Elder (Thanks Bill)

I wanted to try a plain Dark brown sheath with this one.
I still have to sharpen it, but I am waiting for a few new belts to get here!!

The knife is very nice as is the sheath. You really spent some time form fitting that sheath. I like that look. I have got to find a stump like the one Billy found. The handle really enhanced a very fine blade. Keep up the great work Ernie!!!!

Thanks Everyone. I really like how this one turned out.
The Wood is so busy but with the colors it works very well!

Not much to say Ernie, that looks great. Love the burl handle, gives it a dressed up touch but that blade shape is perfect for so many different things, skinning, camping, hiking, edc, you name it, it'll do it.

Beautiful looking knife.

Ernie, I commented on the knife on another forum but I wanted to add that the sheath is really well done and that dark brown really accents the Box Elder.

Again, really nice job! 2thumbs
