Here's my latest.
7.5" OAL blade is about 3.5", 440C (HT with a torch, normalized once, triple quench, triple temper) Black linen micarta scales, brass pins and lanyard hole.

I don't like working with hot rolled steel. I'd only worked with precision ground O1, and a little blanchard ground ATS34 up till now. Too much work to get a clean surface. There's a little bit of a vein between the grind and the scale on one side, didn't think to grind it out till it was too late. I'll get it all together eventually :rolleyes:

So what do you think?

And my filework logo. I think I'm getting better at it, have to be more careful grinding the scales flush though, it wasn't supposed to be this blocky.




Thanks Roger, I had a few rough measurements for it when I cut it out, but pretty much just started grinding and ended up with that.

Good one Matt, I like that knife design. Very friendly and useful looking. Thanks for sharing, you don't do that enough. :D

Thanks Everybody ;)

Especially for noticing the taper, I had to grind swedges on a couple knives and decided I'd better learn to taper them before I pulled all my hair out ;)
