1080 Neck Knife In Black Linen Micarta

[T.Saslow]

This is my most recent creation and probably one of my favorite designs yet. It is a drop point Neck knife with a high V-Grind and swedges on the spine. all bevels are mirror polished and the flats are acid stonewashed.

Keep an eye out for it on YouTube in the future

Specs-
-OAL-5 3/8"
-Blade length (starting at plunge)- 2 1/2"
-Steel-1080 from Texas knifemaker supply.
-Hardness-56-58. I know it is on the soft side but if it was to much harder, the steel would chip (based on my mentors extensive testing)
-Handle-Black Linen Micarta sanded to 2500 and buffed;same finish on the spine.
-Pins-1/8" stainless peined over and ground flush and polished; the lanyard tube is 1/4" stainless
-Epoxy-West Systems G-Flex epoxy

Sheath-carbon fiber Holstex with black "Chicago Screws" modified to fit the thickness of the Holstex (.06") The edges are sanded to 800 grit

*Please excuse the water droplets on the blade- photographing a knife in the rain is harder than it seems....even with an umbrella. The blade isn't sharpened either.*












The hammer handle shown in the pictures is made my me-it is made of ash and has a purple heart wedge.

Haha, thanks I want to wait to put an edge on until after I finish showing it around-don't want anybody getting cut do we?

Very cool man! Ya see, this is what I could've found by going to your profile and looking at recent posts
