I just finished the handle on this 3 1/2” edc that I forged from a small piece of 1095 high carbon steel.

The handle is micarta with a piece of desert ironwood for an accent. There are green and yellow G10 liners and a brass spacer at the front. A 3/32” pin locks that handle in.

OK…had a bit of a scare on this one. I was making the sheath and shop dog got ahold of the knife. She found the antler handle quite tasty.

Sheath is done and on to the next one…

The sheath is a lot redder than it looked in the light I was working in. It can be a Christmas knife maybe..

These are ready for sheaths now. We’ll, the small one will get a sheath, but the other will get a sleeve.

The smaller is a 3 1/2” utility blade that has been acid etched and stone washed. It has some curly something with trails on top and one side. I put a piece of Katalox for an accent piece, and an orange G10 spacer to bond the materials.

The other is a 6” chef knife with walnut handle. Green micarta spacer, and it has an orange G10 spacer also. It will get it's first test for our pork stir fry tonight.
