This is the second knife I've completed but it's about the 6th or 7th in terms of the order it was made. I have a few others from heat treating waiting that were done before this, plus a couple still on the shelf for HT and a couple still waiting to be finished forging. This was ment to be a Fathers Day present which I started entirely too late... But better late then never I guess, but still loaded with mistakes :o. Naturally I didn't get completely centered behind the spine shot so the handles look goofier than they should.

It was designed to be more of an EDC type knife, and now on to the specs:

Steel: ATS 34
Handle: Redwood Burl (from Burl Source)
OAL : 7 1/2
Blade 3 1/4 (sharpened edge)

If I got a knife like this on Father's day I would be proud to show it off.

The wet part on it is just dew from the grass, not overy happy with the sheath either but it is what it is. Thanks for the kind words guys

Looking good, Fletch. I like how the cutting edge comes well below the bottom line of the handle. Makes it a good countertop slicer as the edge hits before the fingers.

Keep em coming. Lets see numbers 3, 4 and 5 now. :)
 
great looking knife... I think you have the same problem I have though.... thinking your work is not as good as it really is....my wife tells me that everytime I show her a new knife.... that is a great knife and sheath man. Be proud!
