Thanks, I thought long and hard about what handle material to use. I think this dyed wood really works well.

Many thanks, I have been wanting to do more things like this for some time. Next up will be some nice clip point hunter designs with some neat handle materials.

What’s the blade length? Fantastic look on that one!

Thanks, the blade length is 6.5" on this one. And even though it wasn't intentional, the blade has a nice, light hamon line. I just couldn't get it to show in the photos.
