Hey Folks,
It's been a while since I've posted any knives on here and I just finished one up that I'm proud of, so I thought I'd throw it up here. This is a fighter that I designed a few months back and it is getting sent overseas with a buddy of mine this February. Here are the specs:
Blasted D2 Steel
Blasted G10 Scales w/ Brass Tubing.
Hollow Ground on 14" Wheel
3/16" Thick
10.25" OAL
6" Blade
The sheath is leather and it's the first leather sheath I've done. This is the third blade I've ground in D2 and probably the last time I'll choose to use it, unless I get a bunch free or a request. I don't care for the steel. My logo etched crisp quite deeply, but I have a heck of a time getting air hardening steels to mark. What little black I did get came right out with flitz.
In the future I'll probably make these out of 1080 and 440C. The first itteration of this piece was made of 1080 and I snapped it trying to correct a bad bend after heat treatment. I made the blade in D2 simply to spite that bar of 1080
Please let me know what you think.
