Just finished this little folding dagger

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

The blade is 3in long made of 1095 with double hamon and fuller. Bolster are Chad Nichols Double strike mosaic damascus. Scales are titanium that I have heat treated with my "special" technique. Overall length is 7inches open. Fully fileworked liners and backspacer. BTW it's a lefty.
Thanks for looking.
Chuck

What's your "special HT" technique?

Is it a secret?

 

[Phillip Dobson]

I like everything about this one, especially the fact that it's a lefty.

Gorgeous knife! I really like the dagger shape of the blade. It's a shape I'd like to try myself, but I have a hard enough time doing a double bevel grind, let along symmetrical ones.

Do you make the groove down the center with files or is that done on a mill?

 

[eygen]

That's looking niiice. Very fancy with the heat treated handle. Great job on that!

 

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

This one is a lefty because it was an order.

I did the fuller on a mill with a 1/8in ball end mill before I ground in the bevels.

Thanks for the kind words,
Chuck

VERY nice Chuck. That blade grind and shape is awesome. Nice coloring on the scales too!
