Hello again.
Just finished another one...well, sort of. It still needs another polish on some new mops, as mine seem to be infested with gritty stuff. My own fault for not covering them up, but that's another story.
The blade is 2 1/2" long, overall length 6 1/4"
Blade is 3mm/1/8" stock 0-1, hollow gound on a 10" wheel. Handle is Tufnol 6f/45 with hidden stainless steel pins on red vulcanised fibre liners. I didn't taper the tang on this one as I didn't see the need on 1/8" stock.
The sheath is a pocket sheath without a belt loop.
This is a bit of a 'end of an era' knife, as I'm now going to start using stainless for my Loveless style knives. I also have a new etched makers mark (this one has my stamp which I've used for about 12 or 13 years now) and for the first time ever a proper leather stamp (as seen here)
As always, thanks for taking time to look.
Ian.
