First slip-joint for 2009

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

Blade is 3in made of 1080 and differentially heat treated. I polished the blade so you could see the Hamon but did not etch it to bring it out, it's subtle. The bolsters are satin finished 416 stainless and the scales polished black buffalo horn. Liners are titanium and have been anodized bronze. Spring sits flush in all 3 positions and I indexed all the screws. Overall length is 7 inches.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck

Is the Hamon the damascus looking part of the middle of the blade? BTW awesome looking knife. Every time I see customs, it kinda hurts, but they look so cool but slightly beyond my budget. I can only dream right now....

That is nice looks as though edges on handle are nicely rounded off.

How did you get the screws to line up? That's like an impossible feat.:thumbup:
