Hey guys, I just wanted to show off a knife I just finished. I saw a picture of a Loveless Chute Knife about 6 months ago and fell in love with the style. I have made a couple of these and really like the feel of it in hand.
I wanted the knife to be close enough that you could see where the inspiration came from, but not a direct copy. I think I have accomplished that look. I am still unable to get super clean grinds with the top swedge, but the best way to get better is to practice. So as hard as I try for "flawless" execution, this is a user. Now for pictures:
Specs:
.275" S7
12.3" OAL
7.35" Blade
Flat Grinds
Heat Treat 57-58 Rc
Scales are a Sierra Pine Cone Cast in Blue Pearl Resin
Constructive Criticism is welcome.
Thanks for looking
Big Chris
