Bird and trout/EDC
Here's another small bird and trout I just got finished. This one was a commissioned piece from a forum member. This one has a thin keen edge and a lot of distal taper that ends in a needle point.
Specs: 1084 steel 7 1/4" overall, 3" of actual cutting edge, .120" thick at the ricasso African Blackwood scales 416 stainless pins Heavily rounded spine Filed thumb grip and fuller in spine __________________ John Doyle You have nothing to fear but fear itself...........and bears. |

I like it, John! Elegant comes to mind. I also like the size progression of pin sizes. Beautiful work, as always.

I really like this knife, i tried making one similar but that 1075/1080 from admiral steel just dosent want to take a hamon. Hopefully i will be able to get some good steel from Aldo after Christmas.

Thanks for the comments guys. I appreciate it.
I don't know what type of hamon you are going for but the 1075/1080 from Admiral should definitely produce a quench line like I have here. If it is actually closer to 1075, you should be able to get even more activity. Either way, it should show some kind of distinct hardening line for sure. __________________ John Doyle You have nothing to fear but fear itself...........and bears. |

That's a great looking knife, John. I really like the handle/blade proportion.

You making a sheath for this one, John? If so, I'd sure like to see them together.
