EDC in Ziricote

[Jak Epp]

Most recent knife; it fought me the entire way, but ended up really nice. I’m just mad that I forgot to take pictures of the sheath before I sent it away.
1084 and ziricote

I’m curious to hear more about how it fought you the whole way. Is 1084 hard to work with in general? (I’m not a knife maker so that may be a dumb question.)

It probably would be more accurate to say I fought myself on this one the entire way . There were some deep pits from forging that took a long time to grind out; it warped during heat treat and took an extra temper cycle to straighten; I messed up when preparing the scales and drilled one hole the slightest bit off, so when glue up came there was a frantic 10 minutes until the pin finally went in. Overall I like how it turned out. And no, 1084 is a pretty easy steel to use.

As long as its a lesson learned, all's good........Great design and results...

There is something neat about knives this size.

Thank you! This one was made for someone with small hands, but yes, I think this is a very handy size.
