some of you may have seen this one of mine before
the reason why i fixed this one up is because i want to make five of them. three in 5160 like this one and 2 in 52100. one of the 52100 one is going to me and the other i think my dad. the 5160 ones will be going to my best friend and my two brothers this one was, kind of a see how it comes out kind of thing.
i will be making some changes to the next ones like 3/8 in thick G-10 instead of 1/4in, also they will be full tang, maybe some jimping, and i think some brass pins instaed of steel.
this is one that i really liked when i made it but i did not take my time on it
as you can see in some of the pics it really needed some love the wood i used was cheap the screws i put in it were ugly, it was just a real wreck of a knife
i had some left over green and black G-10 from my folding knife WIP.
it turned out a little smaller then i hoped but it still feels really good in the hand
i kind of burned the G-10 a little the hardened steel screws for pins was a bad idea
hand sanded to 1000 grit
there are a couple scratches from doing some hacking with it sorry i just could not resist when i finished it should have taken pics first lol
what do you think ?
