That is amazing, I have an recurve bow made out of spalted maple and carbon fiber. Can you please tell me how I would go about building this knife

Thank you Battery.
That’s one of my favorites for sure.
USA Knifemakers makes an outstanding stabilized spalted maple. Not only is it beautiful but it’s also very easy to work with.
I made the CF bolsters first. The spalted scales next. Then I connected the two with G10 slabs from the back side.
A little more sanding/shaping an wallah, your there.
Today it’s this
Full size Crooked River w/ full length canvas scales, a full length canvas cogged back-spacer all with hidden screws.

My first Pacific Salt and first Spydie edge. Thought I’d try this LC200n and the spydie edge should do a nice job on rope at work when needed. I’ll worry about sharpening it when the time comes should be interesting since in all my years I’ve never sharpened a spydie edge:eek:
Nice knife :thumbsup:

I've never been a big fan of serrations, but have kept a few combo-edged knives after divesting myself of a number of them, such as a few vintage Benchmades and others that were hard-to-find in plain edge. I've kept a RAT1 along with both my first Griptilian and Tenacious, the latter two having some sentimental value. My wife has a full-size combo-edged Stryker which she uses for yard-work on occasion and all of those four do have some utility for certain tasks, including rope-cutting as you mentioned.

Anyway, for honing serrations, Spyderco's SharpMaker does an excellent job using the edge of the diamond rods primarily along the bevel with a pass or two on the backside to remove the burr.
 
I tried thinking of a Christmas Eve themed carry for today, but abandoned that pretext and settled on making this a Thirty-one Thursday instead. I'll be sneaking around in the shops later, boxing and wrapping gifts, and will keep this one in its slip today so as not to bang it up on any of the gear there.

For sure I’ve got a sharpmaker and will give it a try when it’s time. This Spydie edge has started to grow on me. It seems to cut really well although haven’t used it much but I’ll definitely be testing it out on some rope at work soon. I normally carry two knives anyway so straight edge will always be an option. This pacific Salt 2 has really impressed me with a free dropping blade when releasing the back lock, centered blade and nice Action. I knew it would feel good in hand to because the endura always has to me.
