new knife

[paintman]

ground this blade with a 1x30 grinder from harbor freight,its 440c stainless,tried hardening it myself not sure how hard the metal is but it sure was a bear to polish,not happy with the polish yet.black walnut scales with knot holes,not sure if ill fill them or leave them be,but i really like it

I'd leave the hole in it; gives it an old look.
Good looking knife Paintman.

I like it. If you do fill them, Ide just use clear epoxy so you can still see the knots. it might help keep stuff from accumulating in them during use.
