AEB-L Utility with Mango

[Willie71]

This is the last knife I finished. Its 3/32" AEB-L Rc62 with full distal taper. Geometry is right handed. The edge is 0.010" and sharpened at 11 degrees. The handle is African Blackwood, with curly Mango. The mango looks amazing with chatoyance that rivals the best Koa. My last 4 knives have been in this wood. It is very easy to finish, takes a nice polish, and has a great WOW!!! factor. Blade length is 165mm. bolster to tip, or 6 1/4". 320 grit satin finish.

Feedback or criticism welcome.

Great looking knife.....overall the handle looks about an inch too long for my tastes, but those with larger hands tend to disagree.

Best Regards,

Yes, it's 11" inclusive.

Steven, thanx for the compliment. I was going to pm you and ask if you wanted to do a critique on my profiles for educational purposes, for myself and other newer makers, since you commented that most NA makers don't use proper profiles.
