It certainly does look great. Is the handle material a gunstock laminate?

The material is red, white and blue G-10. (I wish the blue had been more of a navy. )

Re: Rescaling a Camillus MC-1 flight crew knife
The reason I am asking is I have a Boyd's laminated gunstock reject that a buddy gave me and am thinking of cutting it up for knife scales, the laminations are about 1mm thick. I was concerned that if the laminations were too thick, it would not look good when scaled down to a knife scale size. How thick are the laminations on your G10 shown?

I estimate that the laminations in the g-10 material was about 1/2 the width of the laminations in your gun stock material.

Excellent work, the laminate really makes it pop.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!
