This is my largest design yet.
110% of the original drawing.
Aldo's 1084, ~0.135" thick at the spine.
5.6" blade, Flitz waxed
1000grit finish on blade AND handle
Rounded spine on the drop
Cocobolo scales with 3/16" brass pins
I wanted a knife to slice the ol' 1" free-hanging rope, but couldn't commit to a fighter style, so this hybrid is the result. It's something of a carving knife with a mean-looking tip.
The plan was to rub beeswax into the handle, but I couldn't generate enough heat by hand, so I used a light application of sno-seal instead, which will be nearly the same thing in the end when it dries.
Thanks for looking.
