Hi all, a slightly out of the box build I'd like to share.

Integral fighter ground from 5/8" thick 440C bar. Main bevels are hollow ground, clip is flat ground. Spine has stainless domed pegs fitted to act as jimping. Handle is polished G10

Over all length is 10 1/2", blade just under 6".

Hope you find it interesting and thanks for looking.

Peter as usual you don't disappoint. Absolutely beautiful, clean work.
World class!👍:)
 
Nice lines and well executed Peter 👍👍- I did notice that the plunge cuts for the clip were .0000000001" off center while the rest of the knife is perfect. 🤣🤣
 
^^ What they said...

I'm intrigued by the pins; Are those grooves for an o-ring or just a break for an oversized press-fit tip?

Wonderful.
 
Thanks for your comments gents. Had this at the Australian Knifemakers Guild Show last weekend. Must have gone through the build with most of the makers there.

Coop the pegs are a firm fit, the grooves are for epoxy. Over kill but that’s Knifemakers for you.
