Hello,
shure you know this feeling, you ordered a new knife, longing for news about it's state, but news are scarce.....
Then finally you get a call: "The blade is done, what kind of handle do you want? What kind of wood, brass or german silver, do you like ivory? Thick handle or slim?
Well, I just recieved some snapshots from Rodrigo (www.2gknives.com) unfortunately the forging of the blade is not documented, but here the final steps!
Specs: 5" blade forged from 52100
Handle: German silver, aluminium and fiber spacers, wood, leather washers, bordeaux fiber, leather washers, ivory (pre ban), leather and stag crown.
Now I just need to wait until Pepín Vives will taylor a fine sheridan suit!
Any doubts about stick tangs? This is 6mm x 14mm, that's more than Randalls CDT.
Once I'll hold this beauty in my hands, I'll post some more pics and will tell how it performs.
Regards
