Flat tangs reloaded

[Templehound]

Here are some flat tang knives that I made the last passing months.
Blade steel is mostly 1.2443 (TNT Triple 6) an alloy with 1 % carbon and Tungsteen, Niob and Titanium with the content of 0.6 % each.
Very uncomfortable to grind and finish but for that remarkably edge holding.
Bolsters are made from construction steel and steel pinned and doomed antique bone and mammoth slabs.

Cheers

Very nice! How did you do the grooving on the bolsters? With a mill? The uniformity and spacing looks very accurate.

Glad to see you posting again, that's a beautiful knife. Looks pleasing and useful.

I can see them now T Templehound . Very unique and interesting design! And yes definitely looks pleasing and useful as the man said.

May I ask what you call that method of handle construction? I've heard of proud tangs before but this looks like the opposite. Or is that what you mean by "flat tang"? Thanks!

Thanks David, as far was I know there are only two names for this kind of knife, full tang and flat tang.
But I am not sure if there any others.

Thanks for the information Templehound. I'll have to look into getting some checkering files.

I love to see your unique handle construction, I wouldn’t have even thought to make a handle like this. My mind is now racing with ideas

Greetings jfk1110,
I didn't took measurements of all the knives, but they have all a blade length of about 90 mm - 120 mm and overall 195 mm - 240 mm.
Some " In the hand pictures " might give a little more " insight" of their sizes, Thanks!
