I fell in love with this little knife when it was completed. Decided to keep it for myself, but realized that I need another knife like I need another hole in my head. Maybe you can help find this guy a nice home!
The steel is 1/8" W2 from Senor Aldo. The wood is non stabilized walnut, treated with Watco Danish oil. Like most of my hand made knives, the edge was taken down to about .005" before sharpening. The geometry of this blade came out very well. It is tapered to a thin point. Not a knife to go tearing thru the jungle with, that's for sure! The figure in the wooden handle is superb. I love me some walnut!
OAL is just under 8.5"
Blade length is 4"
Handle is just under 4.5"
Blade thickness is 1/8"
30 degree inclusive edge, honed on 8000 grit waterstone.
As with all of my knives, this was created using a hacksaw, files, sandpaper, and a lot of elbow grease! Heat treat was done in house. The W2 steel in this knife saw a full normalization/thermal cycle schedule for even carbide dispersion and small grain size. Austenitized at 1460F for 7 minutes and a Parks 50 quench. Tempered three times for a Rockwell hardness of 60-61.
The first one to say "It's mine. You can't have it!" gets it!!!
SOLD
Thanks for looking!!!!
