Birch Handle Knife

It's been a while since I've thought about this knife.  This weekend I decided to get some work done on it.  This is a birch handle knife that I thought would be cool.  In an earlier post, I mentioned it along with some pictures.  I've changed it a bit.  Here's what I have so far.

 

 

I hope to get the hilt slotted so that I can get it on tomorrow night.  I plan to peen the hilt on.  After that, I'll shape the handle.  The hilt and guard are stainless steel.  The blade is from an old circular saw blade.  It's thin but that's what I was looking for in this particular knife.
