All I can do is drool on the pictures - no way this beauty is going to end up anywhere close to my price range. But I sure love to see the craftsmanship put into it! Great work to all involved!

The first thing I did today was sand the handle down to 600 grit then fit the spacer and butt cap. It's a good thing Karl did such a great job fitting all the parts cause I've had it together and apart a couple hundred times doing the final fitting.

I put a little radius into the butt cap then lots of hand sanding on it to 600 grit also. The handle will get several coats of hand rubbed oil before it's finished.

Did a little file work on the spacer then lots more handing sanding.

All the finshed parts ready to go together, soon as the handle finish is done it'll be off to Oregon so Robin can work his magic.

Wow, Doug. That is soooooooooooooo sweet!
You are doing us all proud right there.
That butt cap is killer.
Can't believe you didn't take a picture of it all together!
You're such a tease.

Smooth as butter.

Wow, I'd say the magic is already done. Cool think is, I get to wrap my hand around it a few times. I plan on trying it in both hands.

I won't know what to do with the leather untill I look at the blade. But you can bet I'll sure try to make a sheath worthy of going with this treasure.

Better send this back to the front page.

This blade is great in the hand guys, someone's gonna get a treasure.
I've just about finished the sheath, one little addition to the tools and it's on the way back to Lin.

The sheath is full lined and is made up of six pieces of leather. It has a hidden copper pin in the welt to keep the edge from cutting into the thread.

Here's a shot of the back
