Love it or hate it

[Richard338]

I know that many people don't like "western tanto", compound grinds, or serrations.
I combined all three, so I guess you'll either love it or hate it.

I was home from work recovering from the flu and had a piece of 3/16" CPM 3V lying around.
I profiled it in a couple of hours and sent it to Peters for HT @60 hardness.
I just got it back and finished up the grinds with no major mishaps.
I did manage to break some dyed green wood scales during glue-up and so I went with some honeycomb linen micarta I had lying around. I'm actually glad because this is now the grippiest knife I own.
Now I just need to put a final edge on with my wicked edge system.

If the customer is always right, then this thing is OK, because I'm always my own customer and I love it.

Thats cool.
At first impression its handle looks like a Chess Piece in profile.

I actually like it. It’s not traditional but has a very tactical fighter look to it. My only observation is that the bottom of the handle where your fingers would wrap under looks fairly square.

Thanks. I rounded the handle a little on the slack belt, but I agree it is still nearly square. I feels very comfortable (maybe because it is narrow at that part) but I can always go back and round it some more.
