Here it is. .093 CPM154, 3.5" flat ground blade, 4.5" radius plunge, finished to 800 grit and left on the disc to polish after the grit wore off. Shady's texalium laminate for guard, black G-10 handle, a bunch of hidden pins. Finished to 800 also and buffed with a clean flannel buff on the benchtop. I sanded too much of the tex to get the proper feel and shape, that in turn makes it difficult to see that it is twill. Oh yea, the pics. This was cooked by Paul Bos to 60Rc. As soon as I get a sheath done this one will be going up for sale in the forum.

I like it!

I've always though that the tex. would work well for bolsters.

Any problems? Did it work well? I know the texalium makes dense, stiff blocks.

Good Work, that looks really cool with the black G-10
 
It buffed out pretty nice, picked up a nice glow. Just have to be careful not to overheat the stuff. A few pinholes in the resin but no big deal. That bothers me not.
 
Nice looking knife! What is this texalium? Very cool looking. :cool:
