I just wrapped up this one a few days ago. It is officially the 6th knife I've completed, and as such there area couple of firsts for me - first tapered tang, and my first u-shaped guard (unfortunately I couldn't get the pins to blend in 100%). Here are some of the stats:

Blade Material: CPM 154
Guard, Lanyard tube and Corby's: 410 SS
Overall Length 8 1/2"
Blade Length: 3 3/4"
Handle Materials: Green linen Micarta with red liners

Any comments and/or critique is always welcomed - please don't hold back.

Hello,

Its extremely clean and great lines! If you don't mind what did you use for your makers mark??? I don't think I've seen one so clean from someone new to knife making.

Well-done,

Chris
 
Thanks Jonathan and Chris.

To make my maker's mark, I use a stencil that I got from Ernie Grospitch, and I built myself and etching machine. Works great - Ernie is the man!

Ernies Stencils are great!

This knife is super clean. The sheath looks great also. Well done!

Very nice work. It looks clean.
I like it that you've marked your work on the spine.

Great looking knife, I like the distal tapering.

Looks super comfy to hold, great job on the sheath.

Congrats,
Guy
 
Very nice, really like it. Clean and well finished. 2-0 taper pin reamer, peen the hound out of them then they will disapear when you grind the bolster to finished size. I also clean the pins before I put them in the holes.
 
Love the shape of the blade and handle. The bolster adds character. The tapered tang is a nice touch. Love the simple lines of the sheath. It sings
 
THIS IS YOUR 6TH KNIFE? ONLYYY????

Damn dude you have some talent :D Tapered tang and everything!
 
I have to back up everyone's comments, I am the owner he designed and made it for, extremely comfortable in the hand and will be very versatile for any use. Thanks again Ted!
