HERE WE GO AGAIN,I WANTED THIS KNIFE TO BE VERY LIGHT WEIGHT ,VERSITILE ,COMFY,IT ALL THAT AND MORE,THIS WAS A LITTLE OUT OF MY ORDINARY BUT WHAT CAN I SAY,SOMETIMES DIFFRENT IS GOOD, THE KNIFE HAS A THUMB DENTATION ON THE TOP FOR EASY COMFORTABLE CONTROL,JUST PAST THAT IT HAS A FLATTENED SPINE FOR PRECISE CUTTING USING YOUR INDEX FINGER TO REST UPON OR EVEN BATONING IF NEEDED,THEN STRAIGHT INTO A SPEAR POINT FOR PEIRCING ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE INCLUDING FLESH!! "RIVER WARRIOR" MARC HAD ALOT TO DO WITH THIS,SO PRAISE TO HIM!! AND HE IS A HELLOVA CAMERA GUY, THE KNIFE ONLY WEIGHS IN AT A WHOPPING 2 OZ , AT THIS POINT, MEASURES 6 3/4" W/ 2 3/4" BLADE, ALDO'S 1095 STEEL
FIRST A CHICKEN SCRATCH PATTERN??
STOCK REMOVING
MAKING SURE EVERTHING IS SQUARE AND GRINDING AFTER NORMALIZING 3 TIMES IN THE FORGE
TIME FOR A CLAY COAT TO GET A NICE HAMON ON THE BLADE THEN IN TO THE FORGE AND INTO THE QUENCH
SANDING ,SANDING,AND MORE SANDING TO A MIRROR FINNISH BEFORE I GO INTO THE TEMPER OVEN FOR 2 CYCLES AT 400 DEGREES 1 HR EACH CYCLE
INTO THE KILN AND RAMPING UP TO TEMP
OUT OF THE TEMPER OVEN READY FOR ANOTHER SANDING UP TO 1500 GRIT AND A MIRROR POLISH THEN INTO THE ACID FOR A BATH,THEN OUT AND START SANDING AGAIN,THE BLADE SHOW THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL,GUYS THIS ISNT EASY !!HRS OF SANDING INVOLVED
FINALLY ITS TIME FOR SCALES,HERE THEY ARE,PRETTY DAMN WICKED HUH!! VERY SOFT AND COMFY ASWELL AS GRIPPY IN THE HAND,THEY WILL BE HERE TUES THE KNIFE WILL BE FINNISHED AND READY FOR A SHEATH
THE KNIFE ENDED UP WEIGHING 3.4 OZ AFTER ITS COMPLETE, I WENT AND REFINNISHED THE BLADE TO A REAL DARK ETCHED BLADE TO CONTRAST BETTER WITH THE SCALES, MARC WILL BE POSTING MORE PICS LATER THIS EVE
