    Here is the latest off my bench. Stabilized spalted maple handle, Brass guard, 1084 blade 8" long. The blade is 2000 grit finish handle 800. What do you guys think? I might play with the handle a bit more (probably should leave well enough alone)

    Love it Brad. I wouldn't touch it any more. If you are anything like me you will always find something to change or adjust "just a little bit". I can work on a finished knife forever. Lol

    I know the feeling. Some times you have to stop before you go too far. I did hit the handle with a little tung oil to brighten it up a bit

    Thanks guys I decided to give the handle a little tung oil and leave it. Did the oil ever bring the grain out, I like spalted maple

    Love it. And man do I love the handle shape. I have tried this shape a couple of times myself without success. Awesome.
