Spring Trap Knife

[tlallijr]

Finished up my first knife. The handles are stained with some home brewed vinegaroon and are being held on with some homemade loveless rivets. The rivets came out a little crooked but I can live with it. I've been using BLO to give it a nice hand rubbed oil finish. I'll probably give it a few more coats over the next few days and sharpen her up. Thanks to some members here for their input on finishing it up.

That, is really nicely done.
What's that beautiful wood?

Thanks, the wood is birds eye maple that was kiln dried too fast. Here's a photo of the piece I cut the handles from.
