Before this I have done a G10 frame for a kitchen knife.
This is the first frame, first coining, first front style S guard, a lot of firsts.
The knife is 12" with about a 7" blade.
Steel is 80crv2 and the frame and guard are mild steel.
It has brass liners and bronze raised pins with what I think is a wenge or zircote handle.

Nice work. I have yet to try a frame.

Its a challenge but I learned a ton from it.
Great looking knife! Do you use a touch mark or some other method to let people know who made it? Just curious, I couldn't see one in the pictures. A good looking knife like that I would want people to know I made it. Thank you for sharing.
Sometimes I use a touchmark and sometimes an etched stencil.
This one has to be etched.
I finished it for the Ashokan blade symposium and did not have time to mark it.
Thanks for the feedback.
