I really had no clue what I was doing, but a customer requested a knife with serrations, and I thought it might be wise to learn on something cheaper than a 9" damascus blade. ;)

So, here it is. The blade is A2, RC 60. The handle is cocobolo with red liners.

I have no idea how durable this will be, so I'm going to EDC it for awhile and find out. If it holds together, then it will be up for sale.

Thanks for looking, and if anyone sees something wrong with the serrations, please speak up. This is totally new to me.
 
Looks great just like all your other work. I have a doe carcass in the freezer that would be a good test, but we are too far away.:D

I can't imagine that there will be a problem. It looks great.
 
No serations for me either but a great looking knife and an overall shape including the handle that's most useable. Frank
 
For a city boy like me that would be an excellent EDC. If it turns out that you like it, I will want one too.
I carry a Benchmade Osborne with a partial serration. It's the best pocket knife I ever used. It will cut ribs just like it cuts cardboard.
 
Man, that's some nice looking cocobolo, Phillip... how much weight does it add?


Nice one, bro!
 
_____Aside from being gorgeous, that knife looks very useful and easy to hold and use for EDC. From what I can see, the serrations, because they have uneven depths, look like they would catch. It looks like during a cut, the material will pass through sharpened areas but hit thick unsharpened areas within the serrations.

_____If you did these by hand, did you do each serration completely before moving on to the next one? Maybe if you set and gradually work on all of them a bit at a time, they will have m ore even depths. Of course it could just be an optical illusion in which case I'm talking out of my um donkey.

Yes, that'd be my expectation as well. The easiest way to see how they cut would be by going through a thick rope or some webbing material. However, as far as serrations for ripping/defensive use, those look absolutely savage! :eek:
 
Marcelo and Warren, I think you're both right. I'll be practicing some more, and making the grooves shallower.
