While I am waiting to get new stainless steel stock for the hilt of the Birch handle knife, I started on this one. This is stainless steel that a friend cut out for me on a waterjet. He cut me several thicknesses. This one is the middle thickness and most likely the best size.
The handle is made out of a tree from my front yard that I cut down several years ago. I thought it had an interesting grain to it.
