Dark Mountain Sliver in 1084 and black linen micarta

[daizee]

This knife is a slimmed version of the Mountain Knife pattern executed at 100% scale in Aldo's 1084, at ~0.135". The original Mountain knife concept calls for 5/32" in this size, but I have slimmed the pattern from top to bottom to produce this somewhat more elegant little blade. The shorter height (spine to edge) requires slightly thinner stock to retain the intended bevel geometry consistent with the original concept. I left the pre-sharpened edge a bit thicker than usual in keeping with the Mountain knife theme, and given it a stronger, steeper edge which might get raised in the future by me or the eventual owner.

This is a wicked little blade with a 'down from the mountains into town' feel. The black linen micarta scales are cut from a 3/16" sheet which keeps the entire package trim overall.

Blade: 3.4"
OAL: 7.4"

With it's big brother:

Thanks for looking,

"Elegant" is the word that comes to my mind. Whoever carries it should be in a tuxedo.
