Carved Basket Weave Walnut Hunter

[J. Doyle]

Here's my latest knife. This carving is something I've wanted to do for a while now. It is all hand carved.

Specs:
Forged 80CrV2 blade with selective French patina
3 3/4" blade, 8 1/4" overall, .170" thick at the ricasso w/ full distal taper
Rounded spine and ricasso
Black g-10 collars with raised rounded and coined stainless spacer
American black walnut handle, hand carved with 3D basket weave pattern
Stainless checkered finial screw.

All comments and discussion welcome.

Incredible. The basketweave is very clean and even.

May I ask how you got the "teeth" on the stainless spacer?
