Due to all the peer pressure to do tapered tangs!!:D
I give you the "Scout Fighter". This is the second tapered tang I have done, but definitely more severely tapered.
It is also the first knife I have done in O1. The handle is green micarta with red liners, and stainless pins.
The OAL is 9.5", with a 4.75" blade of .250" O1.

Let me know what you guys honestly think, this is a new direction for me.
My stamp was a bit deep, this I know. :cool:

Nice looking Ben! Looks clean to me! All the work you did to put together all of your new tools is paying off!

Might be time to quit the day job soon!

Thanks man, yeah its a bit of a departure from my rough ready tacticals and bush knives.
I am so ready to go full time now, I gotta have that stinkin' medical insurance though. :grumpy:
 
Really nice and clean Ben. I was one of those pressuring you to do more of this clean and polished look. :)

Looks like you nailed it. Good job.
 
I like it a lot. Tapered tang, liners, top swedge. All great stuff!


I am really enjoying the Hemp Wrapped edc you gave me.
