Curly walnut belt knife

[Benr.t]

This is a belt knife I just finished up. It will be on my table at the OKCA show, coming up in April.
The handle is some superb, curly Bastogne walnut. It is simply holographic in the hand! I tried to give the spine a flint knapped look, and the flats are hammer textured. Oal is 8.25", and the blade is 4". The pins are copper. Let me know what you think.

You nailed that one! Material choice to pin placement are all right on the mark. Photographs are very good as well.

That's one sweet Knife you have there.
Excellent job all the way around and the added texture on the blade is great looking!
The spine work is a great touch too!
What Steel did you use for this handsome knife?

I really like that Ben. There is a definite appeal in the flow of the shape and the handle material is very complimentary and well done.

That is a beautiful knife, you did a fantastic job crafting that! If I lived anywhere near california I would have gone to the knife show to buy that beauty.
