I finished this one a while ago, but forgot to post it here.

The blade is forged 1084, machine finished and etched, with a sharpened clip. The handle is brown canvas micarta, and the guard and pin are 416 stainless. OAL is 15 7/8", with a 10 1/2" blade.

Thanks for looking.
 
I dig the finish; I always feel bad scratching a good finish when I start to use a knife but this begs to be used and looks like it could handle anything that came its way.

Great job - what width is the blade? looks pretty massive contrast between handle and blade.
 
Between this one and the last one you posted, I'm in love. Excellent designs.
 
I like it

I can't tell from the photos how is the distal taper from the guard down ?
 
Thanks for the comments guys!

Thanks mate. I don't have this knife anymore, so I can't measure it, but I'd say it's just shy of 2" wide.

Thanks Joe. Any distal taper on this one is so minimal that it's unnoticeable; The real taper begins at the clip. Even without radical distal taper, it feels very lively in the hand.
 
You're in the zone mate. If I were about to fight and the other guy had this, I'd run!!!
 
Thanks Will

Looks great

When you find time crank up the taper and let me know your thoughts
 
Very nice Will. Yep as stated before just begging to chop up something. I like it !
Cheers Keith
