Wharncliff with brass bolsters, filework, burl, sculpted handle

[David Schott]

Heres one I've been sitting on, finally got it basically finished. This one is:

8" OAL
4" blade, 3/16" O-1 Toolsteel
Brass bolsters
Stabilized burl handles with mosaic pins
Fully fileworked from bolsters to tang.

This is a sturdy little knife. I like how it came out. I went with a 400 grit satin finish on the bolsters and blade in a hope that a customer will actually use the knife, in addition to the PITA that mirrored brass is to keep looking good. Ill be putting this one in the for sale section sometime soon.

It is dyed. Then I finish to about 800 grit and then lightly buff....
