First Commissioned Knives (3/4)

Hi all,

Just a quick update on the commissioned knives, haven't been able to work on them as often as I wanted due to work and job searching, but I'm making progress! I finally finished the third knife - probably the most complex of the set given that it has a matching ferro rod and kydex lined leather sheath, but I think it turned out well.  This time around I used the stitching chisel alone to punch the holes for sewing, I think that's the way to go for the best consistency in stitching.  Again, the steel is O1 and the handle materials are natural micarta and vulcanized fiber. Anyhow, enjoy the pics!
