Once again you have been quite impressive with your handy work.

The grain of that wood is simply beautiful. Anyone who has ever worked with and loved wood will agree

I really like the brass strip accents. I hope you don't mind if I borrow that idea when for the sgian don't I'm working on.

Borrow away. Brass, aluminum, stainless and colored spacers are common building techniques.

put me on the blade list i could use a dozen or so

I like how thin you got the handle and the mix of woods you used

O'Neille,
Beautiful sgian! Seeing the "in production" shots of this one gave me the courage to try one of my own. I'll get pictures up once I get an undisturbed weekend to try it out...

Well now - that's just beautiful! Very nice combination of materials and the craftsmanship is (of course) to notch.

Thank you for posting the photos.
