forged 1090 / figured redwood

[atakach]

I have several larger knives im working on, but needed a break from them, and decided to make a few small ones up, here's the first one finished.

Specs are

Blade-1090, forged down from 5/8'' round stock.

Grind - full flat grind with a distal taper , leaving a very fine precision tip, and a slight taper in the tang.

Heat treat-clay quenched in my own brew, then tempered 3x's.

Handle- is stabilized, figured,red wood,which is contoured with a nice palm swell, and a little bit of a flare to the butt. The pins are hand peened 1/8'' nickle silver.

Finish-etched to reveal a simple hamon, then buffed of to a satin finish.

Dimensions-8 18'' o.a., 3 3/8'' cutting edge, and the blade is 3/4'' @ choil.

Cutting edge------>

I'm never going to finish that golok.... that'll keep Andrew from making a sale

 

[Lorien]

Oooh? Well maybe I should announce a 'Golok-off'!
My hard earned sheckles goes to the guy whose golok I like best! After I get to personally test each one, that is.

Andrew, I think that sound was Will's glove slapping you in the face. I sense a duel.

 

[Will Leavitt]

Well I'm sure I'll win because I already have a cute name for my golok

 

[Lorien]

Ha! good one.
