Nicely done, r8shell. Here is the mod to the saddlehorn Will referred to above.

Nice ! Both blades cutting edges were very similar when new. Your modification makes it a knife I want to carry and use.

Nice work! I'm not sure it has enough taper from tang to tip to qualify as a lambsfoot, regardless I love it

Thank you!

That was the hardest part, leaving enough meat on the spine so I can open it after loosing the nail nick.

Check it now rockman0

Went with a more conservative swedge this time to make for a meatier pull. Still nicely pinchable.

Just registered because of this 3 year old post... heres hoping

Would you guys think getting a flat profile on a talon blade would be hard? Friend has all kinds of tools including a machine sander. Im trying to achieve the old Al Mar Hawk ultralight blade, for camp foodprep, sadly its discontinued and the new version has a different kind of blade, see reference pictures below.

First one is the old model which i want to achieve, using the bottom model.
