A Matched Pair

[daizee]

Here is a matched pair of blades with a couple in mind, He a hiker and camper, She a professional chef. Her favorite color is green, so.... (not sure if they'll be taking them yet).

Specs:

100% Hiker: 1/8" A2, 3.4" blade, 3/16" brass pins
Paring Knife: 3/32" A2, 3.4" blade, 1/8" brass pins

Handles are black linen micarta over emerald green dymondwood - the only attractive green I could find, but it was gonna look funky as an entire handle.

A year ago I tried to design a paring knife and ended up with the Hiker. Then I scaled the drawing from spine-to-edge to get what I was after, so these are indeed related quite closely.

Thanks for looking,

I love the black scales with green liners. Great pair!

Vik, the longest dimension of the handles, from the top of the front of the scales to the furthest rear is 4.2".

Fine work on these, Daizee! The green diamondwood is a great idea.
