Just finished this little one. Has  3 1/2" blade made from CPM35VN and a cocobola handle.

Awesome looking knife. I'm a sucker for a good piece of cocobolo.

Thanks guys. Got a few more nice piece in the shop. May use them an a couple of knives in the works. I was a bit afraid to use cocobola because of all I heard about the dust, but I've been pretty careful with it.

Very nice!  I love the blade profile and the file work, normally I would not like the plain bolsters, but with that great figured wood it works well.

Very good sheath work too.

Nice job!

Thanks Steve. One of these days I'll try my hand at engraving, just have to get the right tools and a bit of practice before I mess up a good knife.

I use it sparingly. Seems to give me headaches no matter what safety precautions I take. Really like that blade!

Before I do any engraving I'll do a lot of practicing first :0)
