Here's some pics of one I finished recently for a good friend of this forum :) . I think this is a mean looking little knife. Very compact and lightweight.

Hand forged from W2 steel, clay quenched and etched
7 3/8" overall, 3 3/8" blade, .160" at the ricasso with full distal taper
False edge, just shy of sharp
Heavily rounded spine and ricasso edge
Black g-10 collars
Thorn and vine fileworked titanium spacer
Stabilized Hawaiian Koa

Claude Scott made the sheath and did a great job of it too!

All comments and discussion welcome.









 
John -- he will be even a better friend after receiving this beautiful knife. The whole package looks absolutely exquisite and something anyone would be proud to display and wear to show others the beauty of custom knives. I think this one is the best I have viewed you having done but then again I could have a "fawlty" memory. Making and matching the sheath components and color was just the perfect touch to this knife making it THE complete DEAL.
 
That is slick, man. Your work is so clean...super nice koa too:thumbup:
 
As we say in South Louisiana,
"Dat sh@t ain't Right"
= too good to be real
Dozier
Accuracy beats speed
 
I like everything about it. The black spacers are super sweet. :thumbup:
