Now that's nice! I've always been a fan of Osage Orange, or hedge Apple as we call it here. Mighty pretty wood. Great job in the knife.

Very Nice..! File and bodark. Those handles will turn a beautiful orange with age. I want one! Nice Job!

Thanks, I thought this was going to be darker to start with because of the color it was raw, oil made it brighter. I normally put a thin coat of stain on them to "patina" the handles
