3.5" Gents in Stag

blades&grace · Feb 3, 2009

Just thought I would share this 3.5" gents knife with you all.
It's blade and back spring are made of ATS-34. The blade is hollow ground on a 14" wheel and tests at 59-60 RC.
The scales are Sambar Stag and the fluted bolsters and liners are of 304 stainless.
I had a mishap with the choil and the belt grinder that caused me to have to reshape the blade a bit but the customer didn't seem to mind. It's not a blade shape that I'll keep but at least I didn't have to replace it

Let me know what you think.

Thanks Terry,
I've thought often of stopping by your place when the wife gets a wild hair to go to that outlet mall!

Excellent, you have come a long way since Blade when I saw the desk knife you had made. I never will forget you winning the Tony lottery.

Congrats,
Jim
