I have been working on a new EDC knife with a good splash of color to show others when they ask me about the knives I make.
This is the new one I finished up; Z Wear blade heat treated to 63 Rc with a high shallow hollow grind, Black/Toxic G10 Bolster, Black/Lime Buckeye Burl scales, Toxic liner, Carbon Fiber Pins and Tube.

The new camp knife was more of an experimental and educational piece.
I wanted to make this knife to test out my heat treat and find the optimal edge geometry for a knife of this size and style in 52100.
I have never made a knife this size in 52100 and it is only the second knife I have made from that steel.
I took some inspiration from some knives I saw on here by Adam DesRosiers and tried to make something useful.
