Compact scout
« on: June 27, 2014, 07:44:00 PM »
Hey guys! I just finished up another one of my Compact scouts. This one is dark acid washed CPM-154. It has a maroon linen micarta handle, tapered tang and my hybrid copper/carbon fiber pins. This is the first time I have done them in 3/8". I am sure they aren't for everyone, but I think they look pretty cool and unique.
Oal is 8 1/2" and the blade is 3 5/8", just right for a hunter or EDC.

All comments and critiques welcome!

That's nice.  Those micarta handles are finally starting to grow on me, and the pins look great.

I like that! I've always enjoyed micarta and it's as close to bullet proof as you're likely to find. I'm thinking the mosaic pins I've been using are getting a bit trite. That knife, especially with the tapered tang just reeks class.
