Just finished my last ever knife to be made without the help of a milling machine (hooray!) no more filing guards for me!
This is made from 3/16" hollow ground 1095, with 301 stainless fittings.
Blade is 3 3/4".
Handle is a delrin type material (not too sure, as it was "liberated") very hard to work, but polishes up a treat.
This knife isn't finished yet, as I'm waiting for some more leather. Hence the final edge hasn't been put on yet.
Please let me know what you think.
By the way, the marks on the underside are my grubby little finger marks, not scratches!!
Thank you for looking.
