Well, it's not quite ready for prime time - needs more polishing, and I learned a lot about how not to hone a hand made blade, but - I'm dam proud of it for a first attempt! Thanks, Mike Blue, for all your help with heat treating. O1 steel, Olivewood scales with Tung Oil, and brass pins and washers. And, I just found out you can't edit the title of a post - I really do know how to spell "custom"!
