This will be my third blade I've finished and like the other two it started as 3/16 1084 from aldo. I attempted to taper the tang on my 1x30 and give it nice distall taper. The tapering came out ok except the blade looks slightly bent. Hard to even notice. I used some flattened copper tubing for spacers. I got the handle wood from a guy in my local blacksmith club he called it zebra wood. I'm thinking of finishing it with tru oil but I'm still debating because I do not want to darken the wood. As of now it has no finish only sanded to 1500grit. I think it looks a little funny without bolsters but all in all I'm happy with how it turned out.
Im excited about this one as it will be my first knife I've given away. A few weeks ago I went with my girlfriend to visit her uncle and we put a few rounds through his ruger superhawk. He saw how much I liked it and offered to let me take it back to savannah for a little while. Being it was the first time I had met the guy I was taken a back by his generosity. I figured it was the least I could do. So when he gets his gun back he will also get thi
s knife
Anyways hope you like it . Comments are welcome. Thanks.
