'Brut de forge' duo bushcrafters

A copple of weeks ago i found some great wood for scales on ebay for a good price.
Some  buckeye burl from Hawai, it has  fungi in it what creates the black parts in the wood.

I had a project going on to make myself a set of one big cutter/campknife and one small utility knife out of  rvs CM60 steel.
I used the buckeye burl wood for scales and it looks beautiful.
After stabillizing the wood i glued them with epoxy to the knives and pinned them with silver/nickel pins and a customized mosaic pin,  then polished them with some oil and carnauba wax.
The knives came out as a versatile bushcraft set and razor sharp with a high polished convex cutting blade.
The sheats i had already from other old knives and i customized them a little, make them wet and put some hammer strokes on it,  and for the big knife sheath i fixed an extra strep to hold the knife in the sheath.
Next week i will test them out in the forest when we give a bushcraft course in Holland and looking forward to it.

Also some pictures of a knife i found laying around the house,  a Bark River drop point hunter Loveless style knife.
Bought the knife about a year ago from KSF  and it supposed to be one of the best designs handles of the year,  in my opinion it's crap and customized the handle into a shape what works for me.
To much obstacles in the shape what is hurting my hand after long time of cutting and the handle is to slippy for me, i prefer a more rough surface so the knife can't slide of my hands when it wet or sweaty.
And last a picture of a small damascus Itame woodcutter a la viking style what i made as a present for a friend, have look:
