After almost two months away from the web (almost got crazy!), I´m back, and have a few knives to show you - hope they´ll show correctly!
The knife below is chisel ground, made of =/- 7/32" thick horizontally polished (similar to hand rubbed, but applied with a belt grinder) K-100 tool steel (very hard, highly rust resistent, cuts as long as 440V), handled in ray skin, cord wrapped and resin soaked.
It´s sheat is made of Concealex with cloth liners and J-style belt attachment.

Hi Ivan! Nice looking work.
I enjoyed spending a little time with you at the Blade Show.

Hello, Gus. See you in Atlanta next year. Let´s drink some beer togheter with Elliot, Sava and Flavio, ok?
Maurice, you wouldn´t believe but I found that stunning piece in my backyard. Actually, it was part of a 4m long K-100 steel bar - I cut it, shaped it, sent it to heat treat, finished it, handled it and end up with a knife, can you believe it? Hahaha!
I´ll plece a picture of another model later today, my friends.
