Made this one for a friend as a gift. The blade was forged from a fat leaf spring and its 11 3/4" long. Much larger than it appears in the picture. Curly maple handle and wrought iron fittings. 17 1/4" overall.

That's a really nice knife, ya old fart, but you scared me for a moment with that thread title! You had me worried briefly that something had happened to make you cancel your trip.

I bet you did that on purpose.....;)
 
Very nice Ray :thumbup: The knife obviously does not have a difinitive plunge. Is it what looks to be in the pic the angled line starting at the choil and blended into the bevel grind ? Or is this just an illusion ? Whatever the case, as usual ;) , very nice work :) BTW, you always seem to come up with the nicest looking curly maple handles.
 
I can't wait to hear the answer to David's question. I've always wondered the same thing......"How'd he do that?":confused: If I'm not mistaken Ray, all yours or at least most look like that right?

Just my observation, but isn't that a hamon from the quench?
 
Ray, I had no idea you were making me this knife...what a wonderfull gift!:D
Hey, You don't even have to ship it...it "could" go to Blade and then home w/ me!;)
Nice one.:thumbup:
