I am about finished with this knife but the photo is not ready yet. It's a simple hunter with a taste of trad on the blade.

Thats nice Lin.  How to file an arrow head would be a nice little WIP.

That ain't fair.
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

This knife has taken on a personality as I progressively got it finished. Cant say why. I started with Cocobola on the handle, but it just was not working for me. I busted it off and put this nice piece of Ironwood on it. I'm much happier even though I love Cocobola. I'll try to have it professionally photographed. Time is pressing and I'm working on  big knife today trying to finish it for the show.

OK - now we get to see it.
I really, really like that arrowhead.

That ironwood is as nice or nicer than any cocobolo!  Your'e lucky to be able to work cocobolo. I have developed an allergy to it and it makes my eyes swell and skin itch. I do love it though. That's a beautiful knife!
