A New Classic

[LRB]

Haven't made a modern style like this since 1990. I wasn't sure if I still could. Stock removal Randall inspired style with a 1/8" x 1" x 5" distal tapered blade of 01, nickel-silver solderless guard, and Sambar stag grip. Oven HT'ed, quenched in Parks AAA, and tempered to about 58 Rc. Hope you enjoy a look.

Nicely done! Randall Made knives were what originally hooked me on knives. The Scagel influence is there too. Thanks for sharing Wick!

I like it quite a lot.

That looks great. I love 01 Tool steel. It takes such a nice edge.

Looks pretty dang nice to me.

 

[Patrice Lemée]

Nope, you lost it. You can't make modern knives worth crap anymore. I'd be happy to dispose of this one for you.

is AAA fast enough for O1? cool looking knife.

 

[LRB]

AAA is plenty fast for 01. 01 does not require fast oils.

 

[thegeek574]

OK. I was just curious.

 

[Stuart Willis]

Nicely done. Looks like you still can make a modern.
