I made this pukko style knife for my wife. It was formeraly a cool spring. The handle I'd osage orange, with leather and copper spacers. The tang is the full length of the handle. The grind is convex with a mirror polish. The sheath is veg tanned leather, double stitched with copper ribbons. Thanks for looking g

I like the finish on the blade, going from"right out of the forge" to shiny smooth. That's cool.

That is really well put together. 

Is the Osage handle a solid piece?  I'm trying to figure out how you would pull that off with the tang.

It's split piece. I carved a recess to match the tang and added a little room for epoxy. Its alot easier than drilling it out.....at least for me it is
