Hello Everyone,
I finally got some time to photo this knife that I build for the 2013 CKG show. My photos are not up to the level I want yet, but they do show this knife well.
The blade is forged from Aldo's 1084FG and is 8-3/4" long with a clayed back and 1000 grit hand finish. The hamon is persent but difficult for me the photo. It has a nice distal taper from the 1/4" ricasso to the point making it very light in hand. The handle is made from a excellent peice of crotch walnut that I sourced from Don Hanson. The S-guard is made from 416 and the spacers are black G10 and 416. I hand stiched and tooled the drum dyed black leather sheath.
Comments good or bad are welcomed.
