Guys,

I am making my first fixed integral knife and wanted to hear opinions of integral knife owners. My integral will be machined from 1/2" O-1 steel. Blade thickness will be about 3/16". Blade width almost 1.5", flat grind. Length 11".
I never owned or even handled an integral knife so I am looking for any comments on full or partial(just bolster) integrals.

BTW If you have a picture please don't hesitate post. There are very few pictures of integrals on internet.

Thanks,
Alex
 
Check out Jerry Fisk's site. He makes nice integrals. Sam Butler has an interesting one posted on his site also. Very nice knife the integral!:thumbup:
 
Another question. Seems that most integral knives suppose to be more handle heavy. I tapered the handle and will make some extra hole in handle but it won't make a big difference since the butt and bolster put a lot of extra weight on a handle. My grind starts right from the spine so blade itself is relatively light.

Can somebody who own a integral tell me if it's also handle heavy?
