Rosewood and Maple Paring Knife

The blade on this comes from a 10-inch Skillsaw blade. It's cut in the pattern of my favorite paring knife and then hardened and quenched. 

The handle is an obscure rosewood with a hard rock maple bolster, hand sanded to 400 grit and finished with boiled linseed oil. 

I hadn't put the final edge on it in these photos.

This blade is also from the eBay batch.  Rosewood (I think) end grain scales. I like them. White liners for accent and experimentation (from a yogurt container). Aluminum pins.  Really comfortable handle. Finish is very comfortable. This was presented as a gift to a Royal Ranger leader in Germany.
