Second one finished. From design to complete.

[DukeHarley]

Finished my second knife today. About 1/2 way through I was having second thoughts on weather I was going to like this knife but from about then on it really started coming together. Then once I started shaping the handle I really started to like the over all feel and design.

Started out showing you guys this design on paper and some critiques said to move pin up and get rid of such an extreme belly in bottom of handle and move front edge of scale back out of the choil. I made the changes and it was basically what I ran with.

Blade: .125" Aldo's 1084 Full flat
Blade
Length: 3.5"
OAL: 8.0"
Scales: Black Linen Micarta
Spacers: Red G10
Pins: Brass

Nice, does it cut?? Are those big pins or cuttler rivits?

 

[DukeHarley]

Those are 1/4 brass pins. I've no yet tried bolts or fasteners. Seems to cut very nice. Need to spend a bit more time on the final edge though.

Turn the flash off and use fixed lights. Going outside would likely get the best results.
