Hello gentlemen, are pictures of a piece inspired by the work of a pioneer of hand-made knives from which all of us once we were inspired.
The piece in question is a copy of the well known model Randall # 14 Attack.
In our case the blade is hidden tang, flat style from the spine to the edge and made of pattern welded steel in feather pattern from a tight "W".
The ensemble was completed with a handle in cocobolo wood something more stylish than the original but without losing the essence, is very good wood, with alpaca guards 9mm thick and has a mosaic pin.
The sheath is leather tanning with 3mm thick, it made the pocket for sharpening stone which would have been better aesthetically smaller but at the time of use the 10 cm German stone we believe is best .
We wish you enjoy the photos.
Thanks for looking.

The flat grind really doesn't look right on that to me. This is the second time I have seen this on a Brazilian made #14.

IMO, it looks better with a sabre grind.

Well, seeing as how all Randalls are flat-ground, I suppose it makes sense to do it that way if you're doing an homage to a Randall.

Do you see the difference?

OK gentlemen, I do not think it matters for discussion, the title of this thread says "all'uso nostro" or in other words, "in our way".
Mr. Garsson, you are right in saying that the saber grind looks better but I firmly believe that when it is necessary to cut, with care, from a log to thin slices of tender meat or bread the flat grind shows better cut performance.
A detail, this piece was made in Argentina.
I very much appreciate your comments.
Saludos, Marcial.
