A new dirk

Hello all, I had to take a brief break from all of those puukkos (they were starting to drive me a bit nutty) to work on a custom order. The title says it all. I still have to finish the sheath tomorrow but I thought I would share the knife so far. The handle is brass and cocobolo, but the end piece is a chunk of 200 year old walnut I had lying around. The blade is 5160 sanded to a 600 grit satin finish with mirrored edges, and a stainless steel pin. Overall length is 16 inches with a blade length of 9 inches. Thanks for looking!

Nice. Just straight deadly looking while retaining eye appeal. I'd like to see some close ups of that end piece if you can.
 
Thank you all for the kind words, this project started as a headache but ended up being one of my favorites. I was able to nearly finish the sheath today but not quite so here is a sneak peak. A point goes to anyone who can guess what wood the sheath is made out of...better quality close ups to some upon completion tomorrow.

Thank you Scott for the kind words, I woke up early this morning and redesigned my maker's mark...what do you guys think? Unfortunately this dirk will receive my old maker's mark as I don't have time to get the new stencils made before it has to be shipped.
