Hello all, it has been a while since I have posted anything getting married can make one busy
But I have been developing a new production line I wanted to show and get opinions on. I will be posting all of the new knives and versions on this thread so as to not inundate you guys with pictures of knives that are too similar. When I was initially designing this knife I wanted it to be tough and efficient, but still small enough for everyday use, so no more than a 4 inch blade. Ultimately I plan on having a 4 inch blade model, 3 inch blade model, and an ultra light version of each. The first prototype I made out of W2 and it came out with a nice wicked little hamon and I have to say it is a mean little knife. With all that being said here is the knife and I'd love to hear what you all thing of it.
Spec:
Steel: W2
Blade thickness: 3/16 tapering to 1/8 on the tang
Blade length: 4 1/8 inches
Blade width: 1 1/4 inch
Overall length: 8 3/4 inches
Weight: 5.2 ounces
Handle material: Desert Ironwood Burl with leather spacers
Pins: Stainless steel rod and tubing
