My next knife is almost finished. It has a far different look than the first, as it is a little fancier. I added some file work on the top and bottom of the tang that will be visible between the pieces of the handle. I'll be tempering the blade tomorrow, along with my little craft axe. The handle is pretty cool, it started out as a green poplar and after about 6 coats of tung oil, it has a pretty greenish/gold color. I'm excited to piece this one together. This is my favorite yet!
