WOW!! I had a different image entirely based on your last post. I was thinking it would look something like the leather patchwork from the 60s.

Looks like the handle on my old survival knife I carried when flying in the Navy.

That is the look I was going for with this pen.

Did you do this one just since the posing about leather pens the other day? I love the job you did with it and the arrowhead prop for the pic. It reminds me of a hunting knife I used to have years ago.

It was in the works, but I thought I would post the other day and see about finishing with CA or something else.

Nice job, but I think a natural waxed finish might work better, The gloss CA / leather seems wrong to me. I have thought about this myself a few times and might just give it a go.
Very good lookin pen all the same!

Cool K-bar pen (K-bar is the company that made the survival knifes). I agree that the CA finish is very shiny, but a wax or oil finish may not last. How about a satin CA finish?

Wow! That came out great. I have a USAF Survival Knife with leather rings. What a grip! Of course it's meant to be oiled (baseball glove) and give you a non-slip grip.

Looks like a KA-Bar to me!! Good Job!!
As for the gloss, some of their knives do have that type of finish

Deja-vu all over again. The picture of the knife Bob posted is the spitting image of the hunting knife I had as a youngster. Cool.
