Benjy's KITH BUILD

Mark, which one of these did you like?
It will be a little while before i can get this finished, i have a friend coming in this weekend, i am taking him gator hunting next week and I have to get everything ready for him.
I like the lighter one on the right. But if you feel another one will make the knife better, please feel free.
 
Finally back to playing with knives! I have the liners on the scales and they are shaped. I just finished epoxying them to the blade. Tomorrow I will shape the handle!

I’m right handed. And yes. I work with mostly boys with behavior and anger issues. That knife is beautiful. I will treasure it. I can’t wait to get it.

Dang. So I have what is probably a stoopid noob question: Is it any harder/easier to make a large knife like that as opposed to what I would call a ‘normalish’ sized hunter??
