Nice looking filleter, what kind of wood are the scales made of?
Thank you. Stabilized birch. It wasn't quite finished, but I had a sheep to dismantle, so it was too good an opportunity to miss.Quote:

This one is inspired by the Half Face Blades Crow Scout. Full tang, flat grind blade in 3.8mm Elmax. Handle is camo G10, with G10 pins and carbon fibre lanyard tube.

This one is from early 2023. At the time it was the best knife I had made. The blade is a full flat grind in Elmax steel which I was using a lot at the time. Handles have G10 liners & pins and a carbon fibre lanyard tube. Handle material is an Australian native wood called "bendee" which has a hand rubbed finish. Design of this knife was very much inspired by the Bark River Gunny Hunter.

The blade is 3.5mm NitroV steel, with a tapered tang. The handle is Gidgee, with brass Loveless bolts and thin red liners. My first time using Loveless bolts, and I used Ubeaut Aussie Oil as the finish on the handle for the first time.

Very happy with the performance!
These are a couple of my boner profile. The steel on the camo handle one is the last bit of 2.5mm Elmax steel I had left in the workshop. The orange/black laminate handle is 2.5mm AEB-L steel. Both have a shallow hollow grind with a distal taper to a fine point. The tangs are tapered down to about .5mm, with G10 handles, fine G10 liners and G10 pins.

This is one is the third different set of luminous handle material that I have tried and probably the best option I have found yet. The handle glows very well, but needs to be exposed to a fair bit of light first. The material is a little different to look at and to work with compared to the other luminous material I have used before. It seems to be flakes of luminous material mixed into some sort of resin. The handles are very hard and take a lot of sanding to finish well. They look a bit plain in the day light, but really come to life when they are in the dark.
This knife is a version of my hunter pattern, but with a bit more drop at point than normal. The steel is 3.5mm Nitro V with cryo treatment. The blade is a full flat grind. The handle is a tapered tang, with the luminous resin scales, green G10 liners and stainless Loveless bolts & lanyard tube.
The bottom two pictures show the handle in a dark passageway, then sitting on a bench top in a completely dark room

Using this this morning. It’s an old Blackjack made by Bark River. 1095 steel. A bit thick and heavy, and ugly too. But handles and cuts like a demon. It has a good high and thin edged convex grind.
Attachment 272039
Nice design and beautifully executed. Tapered tang?Quote:

Cool. I like mine. The new blade shape is a bit different. Obviously you like it if you've kept it for that long!
It had more belly but has been honed away over the years. Like it - sentimental and practical.Quote:

Thanks Southcity! No, it’s not a tapered tang. Blade on this one is so thin, a tapered tang would make no sense.Quote:

Finished out an old prototype I've been sitting on for a while. Designed to be a Westcoast/ wet environment knife. All synthetic with a good corrosion resistant steel. Should last a lifetime in even wet nasty environments.
G10 handles and guard, elmax steel @ 60 hrc.
Doesn't have a home if anyone wants it, otherwise will go into my collectionhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e07552c37d.jpg
