First one for the new year

Mike Craddock · Jan 2, 2009

Just finished this one yesterday, first of 2009. I hope there will be many more.
6" blade 10 1/2" OAL
1095 and 15N20
stainless fittings, and a piece of stag that I have had for about 30 years.
Hope you like it. All comments welcome.

I do like it. Nice grinds, pleasant shape and really good looking stag. Is it a take-down? Forged or stock removal?

Thanks Keith
It is not a take-down, it's made like a take-down but then when everything is fitted I fill it with epoxy and screw it down.

I like that a whole, except for the stag. I just do not care for the stuff.

I like every inch of it. It looks like a fancy knife someone would want to use and not misuse it by making it a safe queen

Great looking knife! Personally I would prefer a single guard. Thanks for posting- looking forward to seeing more of your work.

looks very good. nice lines with good proportions. either double or single guard works with this one but if blade was shorter, then single would look best.
