I’ve been bad about posting on here. This is my fourth hidden tang conversion, super fun. Got this slicer on BST, hidden tang octagonal
Holy olive, Black g10, nickel silver.
Any feedback welcome, thanks

This looks outstanding! I take it this was a full tang with scales prior to conversion?
 
It looks great.

How does the western bolster feel merged into the octagonal handle? I would imagine it feels smoother and more comfortable at the pinch grip but with the hand mobility provided by the greater surface area of the octagonal butt, at the palm.
 
Beautifull. If I ever came to ordering a custom knife or buy something expensive I would get it with a handle just like that.
 
Looked great in the photos... Looks even better in person [emoji41]
