Here is what I think may be one of my signature knives whenever I decide to start selling. They're not quite perfect but the improvements from my first few in a short period of time, I'm very surprised with.
1084 Steel
9" OAL
4 1/2"+ Blade
Black Paper Micarta
Lime Green G10 Liners
SS Pins
.06 Kydex Sheath

Sheath is way too wide IMO but, I'm working on it. Way different then the holsters I'm used to making.
 
Thanks guys! I really appreciate some positive words. I'm not looking to make a living off this but, making a few bucks here and there. Its more fun than anything.

Lol. Thanks. It seriously feels like Ive been making these and researching forever! But when I check the calander and see only a few months. These things, take a lot of work. I dont plan on stopping anytime soon. Its like crack but, not really....:foot:
 
That is nice man. I'd probably go for one of those.

Like you said the sheath is a little wide but that'll come together.

Nice work! :thumbup:

Thanks. I'm finishing up a similar one but with an 8" OAL and canvas black micarta. Starting another 9" as we speak.

You done good man! I'm close to my first finished blade, and hope it comes out as good as yours did. I really like the profile, your grind line is great, finish is nice and shiny, and the liners make it pop! I see what you mean with the sheath, but for what it is it will work just fine.
 
Sleek and simple I like it, and all ya gotta do is remove some of the outer sheath and it will look really good. Nice work thanks for sharing.

I think the sheath looks great.
 
Nice blade! The one thing that catches my eye is the transition from the belly of the blade to the tip, it appears to flatten a bit as it nears the tip. Nice kydex work too, it will be easy to take the edges a little closer to the eyelets.
