Here's two more with ironwood for a repeat customer. These have to get to him tomorrow for him to ship, so it's once again living with indoor lighting for pics. 
The sheaths are also mostly done (drying right now from the dye and will get oiled tomorrow), and they are my typical simple leather sheath with spring clip.
Both of these sets of ironwood I picked up from Tracy. Some really good stuff he's been getting lately. These scales have some amazing chatoyance when in the sunlight!
The specs are 5/32" CPM154, 3-1/4" blade, 7-1/2" OAL, and desert ironwood scales with black vulcanized spacers. The blades are full flat ground and hand finished. Both have customer-requested initials on the reverse side of the blade.
Here's the second one; same specs as the first:
The angle on the pics makes the blades look a little hump-backed, and that's because there is a very small swedge on either side of the blade running most of the blade on the spine. Just enough to knock h sharp edges off.
As always, comments and critiques welcomed. Thanks for looking!
