That is a spectacular bit of work Jake, congrats. Richard

Hunter , 1095, brass, leather, deer antler, total length 25.5 cm blade 13 cm.

That really did not turn out too bad Alan, I have made a few folders and I find them a real pain, they take even more time to make than anything else. To my shame I really should have a folder I made my self but I have been carrying an Opinel for over 40 years.

Apply lots of linseed oil , that gives it the nice finish.
