With black linen Micarta handles not yet finished. Won't be much contouring as it's only 3/16 thick stock. This is a blem, in the second picture you see the line in the blade near the CTS XHP, I think that's the grinding blemish.

Nice some parts of that cf look like basket weave great work did you do that yourself ? Good username too French bulldogs are a great breed but at the risk of causing confrontation have to state the name is misleading they were bred in England Nottingham, even the French acknowledge this any breed specific to France usually is preceded with the word chien an English breed brought to France and evolved is preceded by douge the French English word for dog this breed is known as bouledouge francais.
Edit : sorry its 5.12am not slept I see brad southard did the scales I should read the posts more thoroughly and I went well Ot on dogs ....oops

He his a cracker I lost my bullmastiff in October at 10 she was a formidable guard dog and as gentle as a lamb with those who she trusted miss her everyday .
I considered a Frenchbulldog but don't have room for two and a guard dog is needed here its quite a rough area so I'm on the list for another bullmastiff when the time is right.
Beautiful dog my girl was fawn with black brindle very rare for the breed sorry for going off topic guys I'm going to get told off soon .

Sorry but I have only this bad picture.
Yes, natural G10 from halpern titanium with plastic blue liners homemade.
I hesitated a long time for the liners or not and for the color.
Do you like blue?
It could be nice with red or funny color like pink.

This is my latest Mule project - I put some Karelian Birch scales on the new XHP Mule. I understand why so many Scandinavian knives use Birch for their scales - the material is drop-dead gorgeous, it is fantastic to work with, it is relatively light weight while being tough as nails. Great stuff. It worked very easily, responded well to shaping with files, and finished out nicely with sandpaper. It wasn't chippy or splintery - but you can probably see that there are several very voids in the dark spots. None of these voids caused any chip outs or other problems, and they sealed up nicely. I finished the birch with about 15 thin coats of Tru-Oil with a top coat of RenWax.
Cheers!
