Nice little EDC/Utility with Bocote....
Here's a small general purpose blade I'm putting out there to see how I like it. I've made another that I'll be carrying and this one. I was going for a knife slim, light and compact enough to be an office friendly daily carry but still be a substantial blade capable of field dressing a deer or doing some more serious tasks.
Specs: Ground out of 1084 steel, differentially hardened lightly etched 6 3/4" overall, 3 1/8" tip to scales, 2 7/8" of cutting edge, .115" thick at the ricasso with full distal taper ending in a nice pointy tip 600 grit hand sanded finish Filed two-tone thumb grip Heavily rounded spine for comfort Bocote scales, thin and nicely contoured 6 german silver pins Any thoughts, comments, discussion always welcome.
