1095 Fighter

[M.Presnell]

Here is a fighter I forged from Aldo's 1095 with a Cocobolo handle. I am very happy with the way that it came out. The balance point is at the guard and it is scary-sharp!

Steel: Aldo's 1095
Blade: 5 1/2". Etched to show temper line.
Handle: Cocobolo with a nickel silver guard and a brass pin held together with JB Weld and G-Flex.
HT: by me. Interrupted quench for temper line. Heat treated in an EvenHeat oven to 58-60 RC.
Sheath: 7-8 oz leather hand stitched and dyed by me.

Well done. Your knife looks like a perfect edc from my perspective particularly with the high ride sheath design. The lines of the knife suggests a personal knife carried along the Natchez trace a couple hundred years ago. How thick is the blade?

Thanks Delta, The blade is 1/4" thick at the ricasso.
