And finally, some glamour shots of the finished knife and box:

The box is made of some raw, driftwood-looking maple (because the handle uses maple too) which I will never use again. It splinters like crazy, even in parts where it didn't have the knots, which made the box a really goddamn annoying part of the project.

How'd you make the box interior? Did you just trace the knife's outline onto the two end pieces and freehand with a router?

Beautiful knife and I like the profile but one thing, it looks like the heel(?) comes down past the edge at the plunge line. Seems like it will prevent the blade from cutting all the way through.

I had half a saw blade left from my previous knife and started messing around. This will be my last saw blade knife, I'll pick up some 1085 for future projects. Also want to build a belt grinder.

What was your process for cutting out the knife's profile?
