What material did you use for the blade/shank?
The blade was cut from an old circular saw blade. Once it was shaped and the bolster soldered on, I had to re-temper it.
The scales are Osage Orange from a billet that I had used for making a longbow.

Man that is some hard stuff to work! My brother and I used to make long bows out of hedge when we were kids. Made good bows but was tough to work.

I was looking in lehmans.com the other day and I think for me, the lehmans power knife would be a good fit for utility.

It's definitely a working knife with no cosmetic appeal.
