    Here's a shot that shows the back and edge. I am really happy with the edge on the main body but not so happy with the edges on the strap.

    Thanks, Plowboy73! I had a lot of fun making it. I put it together for a close friend of mine, who lives in northern Ontario. Her father gave her the knife when she was 11 and means a lot to her. it has seen a lot of use, for sure, and she still takes it on every canoe trip. It's a sweet little knife, just 7" from the butt to the tip of the blade. I am going to post a couple more pics, separately.

    You are progressing quickly, for sure. Try using Etsy as a resource to establish your own pricing, but make sure you are comparing apples to apples. You need to find similar products with the same skill level you are at. Resolene. Cut it 50/50 with water. Wrap a sponge with a piece of soft cotton cloth & soak that in water - squeeze out till just damp. Dip in the resolene and squeeze out again. Wipe on VERY lightly, in one direction. Wait an hour and do a second coat. Works for me, every time. The leather looks like leather and feels like leather. Sometimes I will put on three coats - still gives me a nice finish. I always using Fiebings pro oil dye.
