Just trying stuff out, this seemed to take shape on the grinder all by itself. Really comfortale, but i may beef the handle a it for production type pieces. drills good, batons through a 1x2, but it's REALLY not big enough for that type of work. shaves well, too.
15N20, 3/32 thick, convex grind 3 inch blade, 5 1/2 OAL, 3/16 od brass tubing and stabilised ipe wood. Finish isn't the hottest - 320 grit sanded and i didn't take all the forge marks out. Something that could be a necker or ride piggyback on a big old 8 inch type knife. it's holding up nice through a couple hours of banging around the yard and scrap pile. and dinner prep.
