Hi all,
Here's the latest with crappy resolution again. Should be getting a decent camera soon since the wife is expecting and I'll need one anyway.
Blade is 1/8" O-1 triple edge quenched/triple tempered with hand rubbed satin finish and filework (did not take pics of filework because this camera sucks and you can't really see it well anyway.
OAL is 7 and 13/16", BL is 3 and 3/8" from the front of the bolsters.
Handle is dyed/stabilized giraffe bone about 5/8" thick with 416 ss bolsters and 1/4" pins.
Sheath is 8 oz. leather treated with neatsfoot oil and hand sewn.
Over all it was quite expensive to make this one due to the giraffe bone but I have to say I do like it. It works easily and looks great. The wife does NOT however like the smell of the bone dust (must be the pregnant sense of smell thing..lol)
You can see the transition zone clearly when you tilt the blade. I like to keep it subtle.
Thanks for checkin it out and I hope you like it.
