Shanghai knife in 80CrV2

[J W Bensinger]

Not exactly a repro, since the originals didn't have bolstered grips (but this one will be carried, so I wanted the strength)-80CrV2, Amarante and brass:

The checkering is a bear and beats up my wrists, but I really like the look.

I like it. Love the history, too.

The checkering is a great detail, it looks like such a nice grip. Don't seem to see it done too often.

That's just flipping beautiful!

The checkering is really cool.

That's an awesome piece of stabbity-stabbiness!

Thanks y'all
Had to do a traditional build too (because there are about a dozen of these and nobody's gonna let me play with one of the originals)
Walnut, brass and 1075

Wonderfully done, with and without the bolster. :thumbup:

That's just great! The checkering is awesome.
