Always very striking knives, and I realize it's a Custom Order, but I'd have had a double-guard on my Fighter. ;)

Very impressive! All elements of this knife are in harmony with each other. And what black magic is involved in the symmetry of the 15n20 line?

Thanks :)

There is no magic as far as i know , but it is true that this time it came out pretty symetrical :D it is only because of very carefull forging this time because i feared that i would have a problem with this tanto-like blade . I mean that the line could easily enter to the edge .. The blade is forged on slightly round dices, on my forging press so that is what makes symetry. The cutting edge isnt forged but grinded. So thats basicly it.. Or maybe i have some friendly fairie in my workshop that like symmetry .. who knows :D

Thanks for the answer. Now I see that it's possible without "magical" means :) , but still not easy at all.

Purely asthetics on my part, kinda separates it from the Camp Knife category in my mind..... ;)

I’ve been told a purpose-built Fighting knife doesn’t need an upper guard if it’s not double-edged...meh. :)
