Every now and then you just need to push yourself to the limit. It builds character and can help you discover new ideas and techniques.. well meet my "Limit".
This is just a shadow of things to come from me next year. This knife has a long way to go before I feel it is ready to offer for sale. After a few more tweaking on the computer and some parts get cut out from David at Great Lakes it may be ready sometime early next year. I will never do this knife by hand again.
I could go off for ever about what needs to be changed, but why bore you
It was a good first attempt and I will leave it at that
OAL: 9.125"
Blade: 4.125" CPM 154 Stonewashed finish .125" Thick (1/8" stock).
Liners: .080 Ti Stonewashed
Lock: Liner Lock
Handle: OD Green G10
Bolster: Carbon Fiber
I will definitely be using thicker stock in the future and it will probably be slightly larger overall. Will just have to see. It is the first dagger style blade I have done in over a year so I am a little rusty on the grind. I plan on building it with a compound grind once I get all the bugs worked out.
Thanks for looking.
