Finished this today 10 inch Fighter 1084 and Bocote scales one of my nicest to date

[kenhills]

10 inches over all with a 5.25 inch blade and matching Bocote scales polished to a very high luster. 1084 to a mirror finish hardened and tempered to a Rc 60 brass pins and easy hair popping sharp. Vine and Thorns file work to keep your thumb from sliding. Not sure yet if I am going to put it up for sale here on the weekend or bring it to the show. Comments are always welcome. Ken

Forgot to mention its hollow ground on a 10 inch wheel.

Very nice. I like the file work. I'd like to do a little of that to some of my folders

Patience and practice. Some people do it after tempering I have always done it before hardening and tempering. Get little files, good ones.
