Another Camp Knife

[Will W.]

Good day, everyone. I finished this blade
 a little while ago. It's similar to the last knife I posted, but I wanted to challenge myself, so I did a three piece handle, and it definitely tested my patience and skill (while humbling both, I am still quite green.) It is flawed, but overall, I'm happy with how it turned out. The black sections are white walnut, and the red is oak. 3/16" pins for the oak and 1/8" for the walnut. The 1/8" pins, I learned, are quite tricky to peen, and they chipped a few times (not proud of them.) The blade itself is 5160, dual cycle tempered (after hardening of course) at 375° for ~an hour each cycle. 11" overall, and it has a slight recurve in it, which was intentional. It's hard, sharp, and fits in the hand well. The pictures are not fantastic, i apologize. Any thoughts, critiques, or recommendations are always welcome and much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Anneal the pins before riveting, they will move more before cracking.

I would probably have run the bevel farther up the side of the blade, but it is tough to tell just how wedgy it might be from the pics....you did a pretty good job on the polishing

Thanks. I went down to 2000 grit sandpaper, so she is shiny haha. The bevel runs up to a little under half of the blade width. But i had not considered annealing them actually. Thanks for the tip, I'll try it in the future.
