The Sunday Picture Show (June 11th, 2023)

(repost) A custom 120 I fished out of the Bay a few years ago. It came to me naked, no sheath, box, or information. I've paired it with a custom sheath I had in my extras box. The sale description was "bone" but I think it is stag. I think it is a contemporary customization on an older blade. The 3-line stamp gives some clue to the blade's age but I'm thinking it is a 425m steel so 82-85 based on the grind. My reasoning is that the 440C blades had the semi-hollow grind with the pronounced thickened edge. If DM was still here he would know, he was the blade grind whisperer. The handle is excellently done, its no hack job. The knife looks to me like the type of thing Joe Houser would have done. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
