Camping Knife III

Here's the latest knife project.  I purchased some 01 Tool Steel for this project.  I shaped the blade, ground the edge, sanded for hours, heat treated, tempered, sanded some more, affixed handle, sanded and shaped, oiled and sealed, and polished.  I then made a sheath out of birch bark.

Here are the pictures.  I will be adding more pictures from the build stages shortly...









Here's the build:
