Last knife of the year

[Charlie Mike]

I figure it better be something special. Made from 3/16" Ti with linen micarta scales and Ti pins, this was a MOTHER*****R to grind. Keep in mind that I ground this freehand unsupported with a 1/3hp 1x42 belt grinder.

BWAHAHAHA! I just absolutely love hearing people describe working titanium by hand, it never gets old. Titanium alloys really do chew up ceramic belts but there's no way around it. It actually files fairly easily, though. Great job, CM. Maybe sometime you should make a beta titanium knife; after it's been hardened it grinds off more "crisply" like steel, instead of being gummy and grabbing belts.

Nice. Personally, one of reasons to come here from time to time, are your new custom knives.
