Other than the dagger, I also completed a few more mono-steel blades recently.
There's a little Bird & Trout with ironwood scales and nickel-silver bolsters (1095)
A big camp knife with Amboyna burl and a shibuichi spacer between the SS guard and filed spacer. (1095)
There's a coffin handle Bowie with file work frame black ash burl scales and a Lin Rhea style forged spacer. (O-1)
There is a little hunter with a burl handle and nickel-silver hardware. (O-1)

Nice looking set of knives there Joshua. That Little Hunter would be a stand out in any crowd to me. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Joshua those knives came out great, the finishes look really good. I especially like the blade shape of the chopper and the rope file work.
Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments.
Tomas, that hunter has become one of my standard models. Just a few slight variations from piece to piece.
Gilbert, That coffin handle with rope filed frame is another of my standard models.
I think if I pick a few designs and repeat them, eventually, I'll get pretty good at them!
