I have had a pile of water jet cut 3V blanks lying on the bench for a while and I finally finished one up.
.177 stock at 60Rc. The blade is 4 inches by 1 3/16 with a decent taper. The tang is skeletonized. The handle is stabilized koa done in a "Michelob bottle" profile with stainless Corby bolts and lanyard tube. Hand rubbed finish with a Treestump sheath that has been pants for a "shop"knife for a while.
