just grabbed this on sale at my local knife forum. really liking how it is designed and made. very clean lines. this is my first custom knife from this certain maker (Teja Pisau -- pisau means "knife") but I will definetely order some more from him.
some specs:
D2 Steel, 5mm spine thickness
flat grind, and beveled edge, not a true scandi
Hidden tang, not pinned, just glued
OAL: 22 cm
Blade: 4"
Handle: 5"
the handle are made from some "laminated epoxied wood" - i cannot find the exact translation for this one in english. so it is not made from barks like how our scandinavian friends makes.
leather sheath.
I didn't handle this before buying and my only complaint is this one's handle and overall geometry seems too big for me. not so comfortable to use. I wear L sized gloves. I think I'll return it so he can ground off the handle a bit.
in hand
thanks for looking.
