Finished this one up a few days ago. It is hollow ground from ATS-34. Heat treat was done by TX Knifemakers. The handles are stabilized Black Ash. This is the last of my ATS-34, my next few blades are CPM-154-CM. I will also start using 416 SS for the bolsters instead of the nickel silver that is on this knife. I am also going to try out a few new designs to include a hidden tang. Should keep me busy for a while. A couple of mistakes on this blade include etch marks (?) in the four corners around the maker's mark and a small gap between the bolster and guard. I hate it when that happens!!!!!


Thanks!

It looks pretty good to me. I have one I am working on that will have 416 ss bolsters. I never thought about using silver nickle...obviously it works. I like the wood you chose, and the file work looks good too. Cant wait to see what you do with a hidden tang.
