Paring Knife

Here's a paring knife that I did a while ago. It's the first fixed blade that I have done with a full tang and scales. I used hidden pins since the wood itself is complicated enough visually. The blade is a stainless steak/paring knife from Jantz. The bolsters are manzanita root with a stripe of maple veneer. The scales are osage orange end grain. The osage orange is cut from an old fence post that a friend of mine found. It has very bright bands of yellowy orange that give the knife a pretty exotic look.
