Just completed this piece and shipped it out. A couple years ago I joined "Classmates.com", and reconnected with a few folks I had been in high school with. One of these was one of my best friends, a guy named Jim. We have been communicating off and on since then. Jim ordered a knife from me, and this is what I shipped to him. I told him I could get it to him in around 30 days, but "stuff" complicated that, and it took three times longer than I planned. My friend has been patient, and I am very thankful.

The knife is hand forged 5160 high carbon spring steel 3/16" thick, full tang . The drop point style blade is double tempered and finished to a satin. The bolster is textured cast iron. The handle scales are Arizona Premium Ironwood, in a palm swell design, with pins and a thong hole. The spine is hand filed, and the Indian Creek makers mark is in the handle section. This piece has some heft to it, but fits well in the hand and is balanced.
