Knife #8b Finished - Second of three
Some of you may have followed THIS WIP over in the Shop Talk sub-forum, but for those who haven't... this is Knife #8b. It is the second of three of this design (Knive #8a can be seen HERE.).
Some Stats:
Length: 12-1/2"
Blade: 6" (tip to choil?)
Steel: 3/16" 1095 (from Kelly Cupples)
Clay-Treated w/ hamon, Flat-Ground w/ tapered-tang (Left darker after FeCl etch)
Handle: Stabilized Amboyna Burl w/ mild steel pins
Guard: 1080 & copper w/ copper/steel mosaic pins. (Mustard Patina antiquing)
What do y'all think?
