Texas Toothpick, a painted experiment

[El Mucho Hombre]

I wanted to see just how thin and aggressive I could forge a "fighter" from 80CRV2, so I hammered one out last month or around there. I can't remember, too many brain injuries, everything is "the other day" for me (running joke if you know me). Finished it up this morning. Painted it with Aervoe spray paint, then wrapped the handle with paracord and soaked in with epoxy. Still have to make the sheath for it. Anywho, here's a few pics.

Nice job! The handle probably could've used some holes but well done.

Holes would've made it balance unfavorably for the customers tastes. There's a lot of taper in it.

Love the blade, and with all respect I think "real wooden scales" would suit it well

That's what I had it laid out for, the customer wanted the paracord though.

Very stabby and slicey I like it
