My fourth knife...

[Alain M-D]

Here some images of my fourth knife. They is my first try
with G-10 and it is also my first attempt to make dovetail bolster...

I also conceived my logo... It is a modified version of my old logo that I used
for my freelance graphic artist jobs. I find that represents well handmade
knives... It only remains to find a etcher to put it on my futur blades...
What do you think ?

The knife:

O-1 Steel, Selective heat treat, 60-61 Rc
Total length: 9.5"
Blade length: 5"
Hollow grind
416 Stainless Steel Dovetail Bolster
Stainless Steel pins
G-10 Handle

Looks great Alain.The dovetailing looks tight.

 

[Bruce Bump]

Really nice for the forth one. Bold dove tails great handle shape.

Im not wild about the extended ricasso. It looks as though it would get in the way. I may be wrong though.

Beautiful knife! My fourth wasn't even close to as good-looking. What kind of grinder are you using?

 

[Alain M-D]

Tanks everybody for your good comments !
This one are good, but my my fifth knife is still better!
It only remains to take the pictures... history to follow..

What kind of grinder are you using?

I make this knife before I bought my Coote Grinder...
For this one, I used a home made 1" X 42" belt grinder,
check on the bottom of this tread for a picture:
