handle is huon pine, brass and corrian(a polymer, man mad stone used for bench tops).
construction; hidden pin and epoxy.
blade length aprox 6"
overall aprox 10"
sorry for the bad pics, they were taken on my phone, i will try to get some better ones soon.

Congrats on your first born. As Bruce said a few layers of a higher carbon material will result in darker, more dramatic contrasting colors.
But you definately have a keeper there and 1 to be proud of!!!
Have fun and BE safe!

just so you know the 15N20 was obtained from an old bandsaw blade.
also this mix was recomended to me by a professional knife maker, dose not mean he is correct, and i am sure that there are alot of professional knife makers here too. and thanks for your input. and yes finding the patern was amaing, i could see it as i was tempering.:D
