As you see, between getting my site ready and finishing stuff for the upcoming Brasília Sohw, I have been very busy lately.
These are the last three knives I have finished - the tanto one moments ago.
All are 5160 steel, FFC ground and aged with ferric chlorid. Handles are, from top to botton, pau ferro (wich translates to ironwood but it is not the same wood seen in the US), Gonçalo Alves and Guajuvira, all native woods.
I call these Mini GenII as their blades have the same design of my bigger GenII knives - from top to botton, a Tanto II, Vespa and Esse.
These are very light little knives, just around 5" long, perfet for neck or front pocket (wich is becoming very popular) carry. The middle one is heading to the US soon.
