Very nice work! Inquisitive - how long does one of those take to make?

Not including the time waiting for the epoxy to set at each stage it took maybe 14 hours, including the time to make the mosaic pins but excluding the time selecting the wood, over the course of a few weeks. There is a lot of hand sanding after the gross shaping on the combo sander to get the finger saddles right.

Beautiful. What is it that is keeping the handle together? Is it just epoxy or are there mechanical fasteners holding the different woods and the spacers, etc all together?

That's a very good looking knife.
