Hey there everybody! Here’s a new versatile knife I just finished up. Hope you like it!

Steel is 1/8” x 1 1/8” in NitroV with professional BOS HT at 60/61. Hand sanded to 1200 grit for a high satin finish. The edge was about .01” before sharpening , it balances on the front pin and weighs under 5oz.

Dimensions: 6 3/4” OAL, Tip to Scales 2 7/8”

Stainless Bolsters and Bocote scales make up the handle, accented with blue/black G10 liners. Secured with 3/16” Stainless pins (center mosaic) and lanyard tube. Black paracord included. The handle is finished to 1200 grit, oiled and waxed.

The slender handle feels great in my average sized hand. The blade is nice and snug in the sheath.

Wow!!!! Great job on this one. I think this is aesthetically some of your best work. Love the blade shape!

Er… I mean…
“Like”
 
That took some planning - there's a lot of details packed in that small knife! My favorite one from you so far...
 
sweet John , the blue/black liners really set that off . The bocate looks great and the whole design , blade shape and all come together for a great package .
 
Hey guys thanks a bunch for the kind comments, I appreciate the typing! Yeah those little bolsters are tough to grind on the belt and finishing takes forever but I just don't see enough bolsters around here and I really like them. I drill for bolster pins on most of my knives in this size class so I have options.
 
At first I thought the handle would be too thick, but now I see it is not bulky. The bocote and the liners give it a little zing too.
 
Hi cbach8tw cbach8tw It's .5" at the bolster fronts and .675 at the butt so one of my slimmer ones. Thanks a bunch!
 
Wow!You know i like small blades,and this is simply in a league of it's own.I would jump on it if i would not be waiting for you know what :)
