Just finished this one up last night- a little sharpen and final tuneup and its shipping to its new owner tomorrow.
52100 blade forged from a rock crusher roller bearing, desert ironwood burl handle, stainless pin.
Blade is 9 long, and 2-3/16 wide at the heel. Thickness is about .095 spine at heel, .007 uniform edge before sharpening. Balance is right between the bolster and right side edge of the mark. Weight is approximately 9 oz.
The spine is fully rounded for comfort, as is the heel.
I really like ironwood. I REALLY like to make a simple working integral chef and then dress it in ironwood. I gotta do more of these.
Anyway, heres pics to check out. Not Coop quality, as my good camera was stolen right before my laptop crashed, not to mention that I cant take photos like Coop anyway
For those who have a knife on order, yours is now this much closer to being done.
