Hi everyone :)

just finish this one for a customerdays before.First time working with ZDP189 Sanmai with VG10,the hardness is 67RC,pretty high hard for a knife!I polish the flat peels which comes original from Hitachi.The knife is hollow grind with hand stain bevel.black micarta with red G10 liner.


Thank for looking !

Respect!

Beautifully made! I love your attention to detail & symmetry, always very clean work. :) Looks like the swedge is sharp, if not very close to it?

Good-looking, handy knife. Perhaps steel at the end of the handle had to be thinned a bit to not weigh unnecessarily, but this is just a feeling.
 
Good looking knife M.K. I have two questions for you. Are the pins in the handle micarta? Also, where is the point of balance?
 
Clean looking lines, nice profile, and nice looking grind. I like the idea of the VG10/ZDP189 sanmai. At that hardness, it should be a real slicer! Overall very appealing knife. Can you provide some dimensions? Thanks for the photos. Mike
