Farmers Jack in 1095 and hand jigged bone. This was a huge step for me with a lot of firsts in my knifemaking journey. Inspired by an old broken Henckels that Lyle let me take apart. In the scanning and making a drawing somewhere I ended up scaling it a little shorter and stouter. So I am calling this a 'compact' Farmers Jack. It is a little shorter in closed length than typical.
I jigged and dyed the bone myself. Mill relieved liners, pinned shield, spun pin.
It looks awesome ! Well done . That bone turned out really nice as well

If you make any more, PLEASE DON'T CHANGE A THING!
I think that knife is just right the way it is.
Congratulations on a job very well done!

ashwinearl,
Congrtulations, that's a fine looking knife you've built!
My cutlery skills are limited to cleaning, reprofiling tipped blades, "oiling the joints" and sharpening.
