Just finished this one up. 8-inch oal, 4-inch blade of 1095. Still needs a light epoxy treatment, but it's pretty much finished.

Thanks for looking!

Very nice. I like the grinds on the blade and the temper line. Adds a classic tanto look to a practical design.

My sentiments exactly! Great work.........:)
 
Clip isn't sharpened, and even though it's swedged, there is a little bit of a ridge on top so you can put your thumb on it with enough pressure without discomfort. I didn't harden the backside because I didn't plan on sharpening the backside, but it would have made for a neat hamon line (dang hindsight). It is wrapped with paracord -- I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but it gives a good grip.

Michael, I've been looking but I can't find a button that allows me to post 10 thumbs ups !! You're on my wavelength !!!:D Jason.
 
Thanks! It was fun to make -- and even more fun to shred paper with. :D
