O1 / Manzanita Hardwood

7-3/4'' O1 palm-size drop point
oversized choil, thumbgrip , real comfortable in hand
8oz leather , my arrowhead design I call it anyways
super shaving sharp
thanks for looking , and yes Ray I heat treated this same time as the ebony so it probably contracted the measles at the same time .......LOL !!! I had a good chuckle over that !! it seems almost every other knife order of late requests this finish......the blade has an f/c bath for 10 sec wipe , 10 sec wipe , 5 seconds rub hard, 5 sec rub harder and so on

Are the pins peened over washers set into the handle or are they contrasting Loveless bolts? A nice little package there anyway.

Very nice looking knife and sheath combo. I have a piece of that manzantia and couldn't remember what it was called.
Just curious, why not leave the actual forged in texture from the original forging instead of follow-up texturing? It looks a little "forced" to me.

Appreciate your compliment Doug,
Those are Loveless bolts , however the washer and peened over pin sounds interesting

Thanks Carl, always appreciate your compliments and replies......the grain in this particular piece was pretty darn nice but if you've used it before you'll know that the pieces intact don't come in very big sizes due to small voids and cracks, sand/gravel etc.....

as for the texture it was simply buyers request "I want it to look just like the one on your website" so I was happily to oblige but I do know what your saying.....

Rob

It was a "gifted" piece that has a lot of figure in it, but small like you say. Just waiting until I forge just the right size blade in san mai or chain to do it justice.

Yeah.....customer is always right. Simple enough.

I had sent some pictures to the fella I bought the Manzanita from and he has come across a large burl so there may be some more in my future fingers crossed

Great looking knife Rob!

Love the shape and compact size of it and yes it looks sharp (that can be taken two ways). I also like the ferrules on the leather lanyard. Great attention to detail.

Thanks for sharing.

Dan
