Hello again Everyone! I've started a degree program recently and have been behind on my knifemaking, but now I'm finally getting caught up enough to snap some pics of something I've been working on. When I have time I'll post some pics of other projects also!

This design , as the name suggests, was inspired by a shark tooth. Normally I am not a fan of serrations, but I really wanted to try this serration pattern on something- and this seemed like a good blade for it. I may even make one my new EDC, as it rides perfectly on my left side in front of my spare mag pouch and can be in my hand in an instant. The angled, spaced serrations really do give the blade some "bite"! I extended handle down the blade enough to provide a gripping area for the thumb, and sculpted it by hand in the same pattern I use for my 1911 grips.

Specs: 2.5" blade, 6" overall
1/8" thick CPM 154CM blade; Paul Bos HT at 58-60rc
Sculpted black/ grey G-10 scales, "Stitches" pattern w/ thumb grooves
Kydex sheath with belt loop

Thanks for looking!
 
Thanks The pattern doesn't look exactly the same on the curved knife handle, but it was close enough for me:D The edge seems to be pretty effective also, I've tried it out on an uncooked steak and it zips right through.
 
Very nice looking pattern there! I'm a Case XX collector

(Shark Tooth is my favorite which is what brought me to this post) along with some Boker knives more recently and am looking at some Olsen knives currently as I like their more unusual handles with more metal used in them.

With creating great knives like this, I may start looking more and more at the independent knife makers like yourself!
