Hey all...
I haven't been on the forum here for a while, that being said, I figured here was as good a place as any to throw up my latest knife. So far I have always received very honest direction and opinions from everyone here concerning my torches, so here goes...
Its an all original design Bushcraft / Hunting / general purpose blade. 1095 steel, olive micarta scales with red spacer material. It measures 1.5" wide, 8.5" overall, 4" blade, and 3/16" thick steel. Features a small gut hook, a full convex hand ground edge with false top edge. Drop-point profile.
I polished the micarta up to 2500 grit, and the blade is polished, then stonewashed and acid etched. After the etch, it was applied under heat to a secret ingredient which leaves a nice protective coating. The blade is heat treated, then double drawn to wind up around 56-58HRC estimated.
My initials are electro-etched in about 1/32" deep. The sheath is 8oz full grain, vegetable tanned leather and made in the bushcraft horizontal carry style. I have a belt loop and d-ring attachment for it, however not pictured.
If anyone is interested in a similar design, or really anything you can think up and would like for me to make for you, let me know. We can discuss an appropriate price at such time.
I can also make sheaths upon request. I also have pictures of some of my other work as well if anyone is interested.
Cheers!
