The hardest part of this build seems to be deciding when to stop. The maker finished a full-tang fixed blade and still is not sure it is done, and honestly that doubt is about the part most knifemakers agonize over: the scales. These are the first scales the maker has left intentionally flat to keep things simpler, and the maker cannot decide whether they like the two-tone ground G10 as a result. Asking others for their thoughts on the flat scales instead of forcing a contour seems like a sensible way to settle it.
The blade itself is 80crv2, ground as a broad drop point with a swedge running along the upper spine. The finish is a dark textured stonewashed or acid-etched surface, and there is a finger choil at the base plus jimping along the thumb rest. That combination of choil and jimping reads as a well thought-out grip layout for a blade this size.
The handle is where the build gets interesting. The scales are split into two sections with an angled orange accent liner between them, and a forward blue textured bolster is engraved with topographic contour lines. The rear section is a dark gray composite. Bright orange pins fasten everything through the tang, with matching orange liners running along the perimeter between the scales and the tang. The G10 half of the scales is layered black and grey/blue, and the maker ground it so both layers show. That layered reveal paired with the orange pins gives the whole knife a deliberate, unified color story.
The open question is the finish line: whether the knife is actually done, and whether the flat scales and the two-tone grinding stay as they are. My own view is that the flat scales suit the angular bolster and swedge, but that is purely a matter of taste.
