not finished yet but tell me what you guys think!

its ground on 1 side of the blade
has a modified liner lock of my own design
and waved
and the pocket clip placement allows for it to be there and not bunched up in the hand while in use
this will be my edc for work
blade is d2 and im thinking about putting some hickory on it instead of what i have now
 
Looks like that should clean up nicely. I actually carry an Emerson as my EDC the Wave feature is very nice.
 
thanks what type of finish should i go with taking in consideration this will be used hard and scratchers are going to be many
 
I have had and made many differently finished knives. Scratches happen on all of them eventually. Satin finishes seem to hold out the longest.

On some of my very hard use knives I have made I have just done a satin finish then covered the blade in sharpie then made interesting designs in it and acid etched. It does not seem to scratch easily. You have to make sure to clean the blade though.
 
Ferric is all I have used recently it works pretty slow.

The process I used is.

1. hand finish to 600 grit.
2. Cover blade in Resist
3. make a couple thousand marks on the entire knife that will be in a seen area.
4. submerge in Ferric and leave it for a couple minutes. Pull it out and check it.
5. Rinse and repeat until you think it is ready. I did 2 cycles of it last time.
6. I then just take Acetone or something like it. Take the resist off and sand again with 600 grit.

Turns out really cool looking and has held up pretty well for me.

What kind of marks are you refering to in step #3? I've really wanted to finish a blade with ferric, but haven't gotten around to it.

I have just been making random marks in the same direction. It turns out interesting. I wish I had a picture of it to show you.


What ever is not cover up with the resist will be eaten away. The resist you scratch away will be the design you get. It is the same basic process that you would use to put your name/emblem on a knife, just across the whole knife.
