"Equaliser" D2 TAC
Finally managed to get one of these completed for a customer. I make these with a slim but well-contoured handle - the sides are quite slab-sided for better control and torque (Bob Kasper type teachings). The thicker 7/32inch thick blade allows for the balance to be about 1inch in front of the guard. I also thought I'd show some fo the details - the fit of the stacked guard, the guard-blade solderless joint as per Terry Primos tutorials and also the invisible jointed mortised handle construction, also thanks to Mr Primos' tutorials. The tang is a full 4-1/4inches long and no less than 1/2inch wide. Should the handle break or be crushed for whatever reason, the tang is hefty enough to be grabbed with a piece of cloth or glove and keep going. Iuse this principle on all my military-type knives. Thanks for looking. Jason.

Jason my friend that's just superb! The finish work is 2nd to none, and that plunge really makes me want to get to the shop and practice. You and Terry do the best I've seen. Great, clean, crisp design and detailing.

Awesome knife Jason. I love your fighters. I've been strugling with a grinde like that. I want to put a false edge on the top of a blade just like this one. Do you grind the top edge first and then bring the main grind up to meet at the tip? This is where my problem area is.

Thanks, guys. This one was fun to make. Got a bit worried after my hand injury. Had to get this one right to prove to myself "I've still got it..." Black-turquoise Micarta isn't my favourite colour choice but it certainly shows contours nicely.
Jeremy, If I grind in the swedge first, I find that the blade tends to thin more when I'm grinding the main bevel - there's more distal taper. On this knife I wanted to maintain thickness and weight towards the front, so I ground sort of "straight" primary grinds with no distal taper, then ground the swedge later on a contact wheel with blade pointed down. On that point. If I grind the swedge in first, I often find myself holding the blade while grinding the main bevels, with my fingers supporting a fairly sharp swedge at the tip area. Thats how I got my hand injury in the first place. Hope that helps. Jason. __________________ JASON CUTTER BLADEART Jason Cutter @ Dr Kwong Yeang Knifemaker, Australia (Matthew 10.16)

Thanks Jason. I'm not to sure what distal taper is. I guess I just have to keep at it.
