SBK(small belt knife)

[TCurry]

I just finished this up, hope you guys like it.

Its fully forged from 3/16 1095.
5 3/4 long with a 2 1/8 blade
black linen micarta with 1 black micarta pin (hidden) and a 1/4 stainless lanyard tube
Im really liking this one. I left the hammer marks and forge scale on the flats. Belt finished bevels.
Comments and critiques always welcome.

Looks a bit from finished.....however, I happen to like a "rough hewn finish" type of knife, that way I, and my clientel, are more prone to usage of them instead of oohing and ahhing over it.
Keep up the work, hand forging is an art i have yet to perfect,but have some decent results to show from the efforts. :thumbup:

Push your abilities to the edge,hone the craft, and Stay sharp

Thanks for the kind words. I like the rough look on some but not all. This one I wanted to look forged so I left a lot of hammer marks. I know the grind lines are uneven and I don't normally do that but my wife said she liked it and so did I.
Just wanted to try something a little different. Left the scales at 120 for a grippy feel.
