Wow, this was started way back in the summer. I finished it except for the Cerakote back in June. It was my last practice knife before I started using good metal for blades. I'd like to think I've come a long way with the six knives I've done since I made this blade last summer. Last month Shotgunner was giving away free cerakoting of blades. It was exactly what I was waiting for to finish the knife. I will make another almost identical fillet knife this spring.
Handle is 6Al4V titanium. I made a jig and used the bandsaw for the knurling on the handles. Anodized at 110v for the teal in the grooves then sanded off and anodized at 35v for the blue. The safety orange is a perfect match for the handles. It looks right at home next to the orange/blue floating pliers in the tackle box. The sheath is felt lined 1/8" kydex. I'd definitely use thinner stuff in the future.
