I'm getting closer to finishing up this harpoon tip, I still need to attend to some minor details and make a sheath.

Thie finish is a combination of acid etched, fine scotchbrite polished on the back and sides, and a high-polish tip and bevel.

It was differentially hardened, the handle and spine were not fully hardened, the handle only has 2 holes for maximum strength; this makes the "knocker" at the end very functional. The choil works well as a grip when using it as a hammer if you have to.

This has the new 3 color MCAM for scales with torx screws for hardware. The handle comes off for cleaning and because it's cool that way.

hmmm specs? and I'll take it

5.5" blade not counting choil
5.75" rest of knife
11.25" long .262 stock
5160 steel
Chisel grind - the back is a fine scotchbrite finish and the front acid etched

I'll get some more photos up later.

I worked on the handle a bit more, I really wanted it to be symmetrical and now I feel it is good. It really shows with the MCAM. The holes are chamfered a little deeper and more evenly as well. I have everything soaking in ballistol right now. Kydex is molded but not shaped...

Thanks! I make what I want to and it is really cool when someone like it.

Here soon I will unleash the massive OG Chopper... a custom collaboration with a bladeforums member.

hey, how do you shape the MCAM scales? with a chisel or.... looks like the left side top has a spot that could have less black to match other side.. but I think they look great, and with them on the knife, it won't matter.... you just brought a small detail to my OCD brain I wouldn't have noticed otherwise

ballistol.. I needs to buy that shiz..

I shape them with ceramic belts on my KMG 2" contact wheel, sometimes I use my 1" small wheel. I want a dedicated horizontal KMG since I like to do the handles this way...

I tried grinding them with diamond equipment and it was slow, G10 is tough stuff. My avatar chopper was done with a half round file.
