Von GruffAll done and ready to go
I was particularly pleased with this one with the spalted buckeye becoming a favourite wood for the handles

boom stickI am jealous of the satisfaction you must feel to make such beautiful knives.

boom stickWhat do you think of LC200N steel?
It’s tough, almost impossible to make rust and keeps a decent edge with relative ease of sharpening. It is catching on with Spyderco knives but I think it could make one hell of a wilderness survival/bushcraft knife.

Havent had occasion to use it but will do some research on it. I have been usinf O1 for my bushcraft hunter knives.
