Finished this one for an ex-coworker and return customer- 11.5 OA D2 RC60, 6" blade, Blk G10 w Rd G10 back spacers, SS chain ring bolts, 800 finish, .025 pre sharpen and .268 at Ricasso, Boltaron w Tek Lok. Nice blade forward balance - should open can of beans or two. Comments, critiques welcome and thanks for lookin'

[D. Crawford]

He'll like that one. Really good looking knife. Nice finish on the D2 also.
I'd like to see a thumb ramp on the next one.

Nice work,
David

Thanks a lot for the nice comments Laurence, Greg, and David. I agree on ramp David- customer wanted the thumb notch... you will see one soon from me with a ramp as I have 2 large tacticals with ramps ready for finish work now looking for buyers...good call.

Very nice camper, and you have a very nice finish on that D2.

This one looks indestructable. Really like the profile and great finish on the blade. If he gets lost he not only has a great knife he can use the blade as a signaling device.:biggrin:

Thanks a lot Backtines, Art and Wade for the comments. I think finishing those D7 knives warped me a little...seems D2 polishes real easy- and signal mirror is one of the selling points Wade- this is not the combat version LOL:3:

Very nice job on this one. Your grind lines are nice and crisp and I love your faded plunge line.

 

[Ausbrooks]

Thanks Marvin...your website tutorial on faded plunges helped me out-
