Hey guys, how's it been going?  Here's a knife I just finished up, thought I'd throw it up here and see if it could garner any criticisms.

This one is 1084 steel, edge quenched, with walnut scales.  It is 9.25" OAL, with a 4.5" blade.  The sheath is deer rawhide over veggie tan leather, with some snake skin and buckskin accents.  I had some problems with the pin holes, resulting in some halos.  I tried to file under them, but couldn't without making the handle thinner than I wanted.

Adam:
That looks darn nice to me!  I've only made one knife so far, and I used epoxy to hold the scales to the blade.  How do the pins work?  Do you peen them to keep everything tight?

swamp yeti:
That's one killer looking knife and sheath.

Stoker:
Very nice. Drop point is my favorite blade. Got a 3" been carrying since '95
Thanks Leroy
