hey guys! just finished this guy up today. Due to the corpulent nature of this blade i decided to call it "GORDO".
its my second hidden tang construction and to say the least i learned A LOT!
tell me what you fellas think, I'm open to critique you can't hurt my feelings (too badly)...

Stabilized Amboyna Burl handle
3/16" 1084 with a distal taper
large "near sharp clip" (it will just about cut but isn't technically "sharp")
416 guard and pin
peened and polished pin construction
press fit guard construction
black g10 spacer
satin hand rub on blade and guard flats
mirror polish on inner guard
I'm too lazy to get out a ruler for the dimensions at the moment LOL

You did Real Good Mark! Again, you should be very proud of your work. I like everything about that knife, especially the blade profile.

The fitting of the guard looks perfect. See, all that extra time you put in on the fit and finish of that guard payed off.
