This is the latest out of my shop. It completes a commissioned order for two small hunter/utility type knives. One ground and full tang, and the other, this one, forged and hidden tang. This is the smallest and thinnest knife that I've forged.

Specs:
Hand forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched and etched
7 1/4" overall, 3" blade, .160" thick at the ricasso
Full distal taper and an almost but not quite sharp clip makes for a really light knife with a needle point
Rounded spine and ricasso edge for comfort
Black g-10 collars
Bronze fileworked spacer
Stabilized spalted and curly box elder burl. It has some really nice almost koa-like figure and chatoyance.
Checkered stainless steel finial nut
File carved fuller on the butt end of the handle

All comments and discussion welcome. :)













And here's a quick photo of both (the other one, I posted up a week or two ago.)
 
Thank you all. I appreciate the feedback.

Kyle, thanks for the comments. This one was a commissioned piece but I'd be happy to make one for you. I sent you a PM anyway.

Thanks again.
 
Dang John.
Even your smaller, simpler knives look fancy.
I keep looking at the new knives and get excited about when it's my turn.
You keep making great knives and they keep getting better.
Now we just need to see about getting you on the cover of Blade magazine.
