Finished it up today.

I found a nice piece of walnut so I used that for the grip scales. Epoxied on, then secured with three 3/16 inch iron rivets and washers. Then I submerged the handle in thinned boiled linseed oil for 40 minutes.

The thing is 16 3/4 inches long, just about 1/4 inch thick with an 11 inch blade. It weighs just at 3 pounds even. I ground it slightly concave and buffed the double bevels fo a hair popping final edge. Shaves hair right now.

Oughta work well.
