That block of stabilized birch did not look much for the world unsanded, but inside a treasure was hidden
This is a sturdy user with steel thickness of 4,2mm and I think it will do it´s duty well.

Loving the scales! Did you stabilize them yourself? If not, do you mind letting us in on where you got them?
Hi and thanks for all feedback, much appreciated!
Regarding the scales, No I have not stabilized them myself, this particular block of stab wood came along with others I bought from a "retired" knifemaker, and he said they all where stabilized in the states. That I can confirm regarding the weight of the blocks they are heavy and probably they used a high dense fluid in the process.
I have always enjoyed designing new shapes, this one is the 3rd generation as I said before a mix of two earlier models the Shark and Dolphin fulltang blades. It is a very nice feeling working on a knife that I have made the blade of myself, nothing compares to that and this one is number 117 I have made in the past 2 years so I have a few to compare with
I am planning to use more of my own blades in my knifes further on, it really gives me a kick, like a bunch of butterflyes in the chest. I guess you know what I mean

That a good looking knife, I am looking forward to see more of your work in the future, keep up the good work!
Thank you!
I started another one, but the stabilized scales was full of cracks, so I took the chance to use a for me new material, desert ironwood
