1080 and Canvas Micarta

[D.Douglas]

With the help of my new Wilmont grinder and Fred Rowe bubble jig i knocked this little beauty out. This is my first go at grinding bevels. Its amazing the amount of work it takes to make a knife from start to finish. Waterjet cut blank saved a little time. 1/8 " 1080 steel with some multi colored canvas micarta and some fat stainless pins to be engraved later. Time to sharpen her up and see how she performs. I forgot to mention its also a tapered tang and has a 400 grit hand rubbed finish.
