Latest California style knife

[oldknife]

Here is the last California style I just finished, the blade was from a larger knife that had a flaw so cut it off and used it on this knife, the grind goes threw the guard. The blade is 6" the sheath and fittings are nickel silver MOP. and abalone in the handle, it may be sold as is if not will have it engraved. Deane

Excellent work Deane , really shows off your skill.

A little different and challenging with no ricasso.

Handsome knife with excellent craftsmanship.

Thanks guys, seems like it takes longer and longer to make a knife, Mark think I will try one without a ricasso on purpose not sure it is not easier than fighting the back end of the grind. Deane
