This was a customer design that ended up being one brute of a knife. It's 5/16" thick by 2 1/2" wide O1 with black micarta scales. The blade was parkerized and fully hardened with a double draw temper. It also has a convex grind and was razor sharp. I was able to sliver newsprint ater the final stropping.

Thanks leatherbird. ;) BTW, I like your avatar, my favorite knife. :thumbup:
Brian, I did the HT and temper. I have a gunsmith I know from doing the gunshows that parkerized it. Leo did like it. :D I've been having trouble with my HP imaging program for posting pics. I set up another program the other day that works with my camera. He got this piece about a week ago.
