This is my 5th attempt at forging blades.

Material 0-1 1/8" thick
blade length 3 1/8"
overall 6 1/2"
thickness 3/8"
blade width 3/4"
maroon micarta
hidden thong loop

The sheath offer full protection and can be carried either on the belt or, with a small strap attached to the belt, in the pocket.

It is an old pattern blade I've seen on Remington pocket knives I copied made a fixed blade.

Sorry for the poor picture, I cant seem to make myself part with big bucks for a new camera when I can buy knife stuff.

Thanks for looking.

I really like the size of this knife and the blade shape looks like it will be great for utility purposes. I like the simple, straight forward lines as well.
 
I like it.
Is that one going to be for someone, or will it be sold?
 
No it is not intended for anyone. When I slowly started to get into knife crafting I told my wife, friends and myself...I do this because I want to and make the best best possible knife I can. I dont care if I ever sell a single knife. Of course, if someone wishes one of my knives, I would take that as the greatest compliment I could receive. Maybe someday I have a pickup truck full of them and my kids will worry about getting rid of them...LOL. But until then I'll just hammer, grind, file, sand and polish away. I really love making them. Thanks for the comments

Nice
I think you'll like this one even more if you start using it. I have a carving knife with that same style blade, no matter how many knives are out on the workbench I keep picking it back up. It just seems to work well for a lot of things.
