Something a little different.
This is a dagger shaped flat ground blade out of 80CrV2.
After grinding I took it to the buffer to see what the result would be.
It's pretty shiny but you'll still see some grind lines in person. (Although somehow the pictures don't seem to show them). If you prefer satin ground finishes let me know and I'll happily take it back to the grinder and make it satin again. The (near) mirror buffed finish will resist corrosion better however.
The handle is pinned stabilized Black Palm, pinned into place on a tapered tang which makes this knife feel insanely light in the hand.
Afterwards it was cordwrapped with skateboard shoelaces. That were given a quick dose of epoxy so they would harden.
The sheath I did some tooling on. Locks the blade into position very solidly. Righthand carry.
The blade is around 4.5" - 5" long.
Handle around 4.5"
Thickest portion of the blade is 4mm
It's just a fun knife that will do a lot of work.
Because most of this knife was experimental tinkering I'll take
