Very fine workmanship Liam.
Very attractive knife and sheath.
What is the finishing for the handle? Is it many coats of a lacquer?

[SoldierPmr]

Thank you Vaughan, It's many layers of danish oil. Ive played about with linseed and tung oil before. I always preferred the results of danish oil.

It has more of a deep gloss in those photos than I thought would come from an oil finish. I use Tung oil for most wood turnings and Danish oil as well. Also easier to maintain an oil finish.

Great workmanship. 

[SoldierPmr]

I soak it over night in the oil. I then repeat the process for less time until the oil stops soaking in. Once the wood isn't absorbing any more I add very small layers and build up a gloss finish.
