Just finished this one up!!

Blade: 3/16" ATS-34
Handles: TI
Spacers: TI
Latch: TI
IKBS Powered!!

Dont mind fingerprints on blade :) its not scratches

I learned a few things doing this one.notice the different tang shape?kinda neat looking,for an accident..lol.but ya gotta improvise.i used a different countersink which is a much steaper angle,i normally use it on SS to reduce weight,but i really like the look so i decided to try it on some TI.blade is ground on a 2" and 4" wheel.bevels have a 1000 grit hand rubbed finish with flats at 400.this one is light but flips with absolute precision.kind of an evil looking little bugger!

OAL is 8.8 with blade at 3.9" and 3.5. cutting edge.there wont be many like this one!!

Your grinds make me crazy with envoy!!! Man they are straight and crisp.
 
Thank you guys!!

This one was a PITA to do,it was tough to properly fit that curved blade into the handles,with full sized spacers.i aggree,these are scary little buggers :)
 
I actually got to handle the wharny that was sold recently (t1mpani is a friend of mine), I have to say I couldn't have been more impressed with the craftsmanship. The fit, finish,and grinds were perfect not to mention the scary sharp edge. Nice work!
