Ok... it's technically my second knife, but it is my first COMPLETED knife!
Here it is:
<center><img src=http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=33630&a=208307&p=22019260&Sequence=0></center>
Named The Texas Tanto in honor of my home state of Texas. Originally thought out and designed to be a backup Ti blade that you could carry in hot, nasty, climates and not have rust to pieces on you or weigh you down.
1/8" 6AL4V Titanium stock. 7.25" OAL. A bear to make! (But fun!)
This one is Sabre ground and has a Scotchbrite pad finish.
The "thumb ramp" has some gripping serrations.

The sheath is kydex and has no metal parts.

More are coming, e-mail me if you want one of these!
"Thank you's!" go out to Dave for helping me realize that I can draw a little bit, Tom Mayo for his sage advice, Newt Livesay for making the Woo neck knife that was the ulitimate inspiration for my getting interested in attempting to make a knife of my own, and the rest of you that I forget since it's nearly 3:15 in the AM here!
