This is the first Bull Shark I made out of stainless steel (Niolox). Normally I make these out of O1 toolsteel which I selectively temper. I did the same with the stainless, so it has different hardnesses on the edge, ricasso area and tang. The end of the tang was softened in order to peen the butt cap. It received a stonewash finish and G10 handle. Here are some pics:

I very much like it

It has similar lines to a Hurak

I don't mean that in any way but a compliment .... the Hurak is one of my favorite knives
 
Thanks for the compliments.

@Joe, I always considered the Hurak and the Bull Shark to be in the same category of knives. They are short and stout, big handle and the point is more or less in the centre line. Personally I think the Hurak is Sam's best design ever, I do love his other designs but the Hurak is just perfect.
