Custom 5 inch spay point utility, figured walnut

I recycled this steel from a old lumber mill in southern Oregon 40 + years old,  3/16th thick lumber mill circular saw steel (8670), similar to L6 carbon tool steel. Reground, oil heat treated and tempered with a unique etch.  Crazy sharp and feels perfect in the hand.
