Hi Guys
I've just finished this knife. The blade has an L3 core which is laminated with wrought iron and mechanical saw blade M3 which is a high speed tool steel. There are eleven layers and the billet size started out at 25mm wide, 40mm thick and 150mm long. The final thickness at the spine is just over 4.5mm thick. The blade length is 120mm and the overall length is 250mm. The spine of the blade has had flats ground on it's edges to form an Osoraku style tanto point.
The handle scales are tiger stripe G10 with blue liners. The surface has been sculpted to reveal the layers underneath.
The sheath is a pancake style pouch which is designed to be ambidextrous.
Thank you for taking the time to look. All comments welcome as always.
All the best
Steve
