JBulitz stopped over and dropped off the knife he made for me. I didn't really give him much direction, just a few pictures of knives I liked and told him to have fun. I am happy with the results. 5 inch blade, perfect size for hunting.

Very nice knife, like the handle

Very nice execution of "go have fun with it."
What kind of steel was used?

Bull Shannon, it's an exhausted mill-bastard file passed along by MeliusCreekTrapper; I try to leave a tiny bit of the file surface near the bolster so this is evident. I actually never hammered this blade and the only tools that touched it were a hacksaw and a series of "un-exhausted" files. Annealed, worked, re-hardened, and tempered 1hr at 400 degrees.

Very nice.

That's beautifully done, and is the handle curly maple, or could it be ash? Looks just a bit different that what I'm used to seeing, but it is exceptional.

Handle is curly ash the maker cut himself.
