    New Knife for a buddy

    I just finished up a new knife for a buddy. It's not too much to look at, but I hope that it will be functional.
    The blade is 80crv2 and the handles are from a piece of Claro Walnut that I had laying around. The finish on the handles is boiled linseed oil.

    Looks very good to me. What are the grip scale fasteners? Rivets with fancy heads?

    I'll take function over beauty any day. Looks sharp as hell.

    Thanks for the post....I wish I had your talent!

    Looks perfect to me- I would bet it is ergonomic as it looks. Great job.

    The pins are just some fancy 1/4" pins I ordered to fancy it up a little.
