First post and second knife.

Hello as the title says this is my first post on this forum so Hello to all. I thought I would share my second attempt at a knife with you all.






It is made from .204 thick 5160, 10" OAL with just a hair under 5 3/8" of blade running about 55-57 Rc. The handle is canvas micarta with 1/4" brass pins. The sheath is 7-8 Oz. leather wet formed over kydex, all the hard ware and leather can be replaced with a screw driver. I only took it to a 400 hand rubbed finish on the blade because it is destined to be a user.


Hope you like it.

Dusty

I do like it, and welcome to the forum, Dusty! If that's only your second knife it seems you are destined for great things as a knife maker ...

Thanks, I just wish the pics had come out as well as the knife did, it already looks like I'm a better knife maker than I am photographer.

Wow. I'm jealous. When I showed my first knife I had to present it with the preamble "It's a knife..."
Welcome aboard, and do continue to show off your work!
