That is a seriously cool little utility knife. Is the guard micarta also?

very nice...:thumbup: i like it... i wish it wasn't the holiday season right now...

 

[raylaconico]

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention the little guard is also micarta.

nice, very nice. 1095 is killer. i am seeing more and more 1095 blades being made.
this tells me 1095 has something. price?/workability?/usefullness?/availability?..
all of the above. butcher blade steel is for me great.
i like the sparks it makes when i'm grinding it and the ease of shaping it also.
just seems to be organic i guess.
anyway i like 1095:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Ray,

May I see a pic of the sheath please? That is a seriously cool little knife. :thumbup:

 

[raylaconico]

Ken, I don't have the sheath yet. I'll be making it today or tomorow.

The knife is sold.
Thanks!

That is a cool little knife!!

 

[Andrew Colglazier]

That is a very nice knife. How do micarta guards hold up compared to say, brass or nickle? Do they chip?

Thanks!

Andy

 

[raylaconico]

Andy, metal is stronger of course. I wouldn't want to use micarta on a long thin guard as it will break off. The guard on this one is small and quite thick for it's length. It will be fine. It's almost just like a protruding part of the handle. BTW, did you get your knives yet?

 

[Andrew Colglazier]

Thanks for the explanation, I really like the look.

Well, I've been gone out of town since Thursday, I think the knives are at the post office waiting for me to pick them up. I'll likely have them tomorrow!

I'll let you know.

Andy
