Full Tang EDC

[Jason Volkert]

I made this blade like 2months ago. Just getting around to posting it.
Its forged 1084 4" blade
Nickle Silver bolsters
Nickle Silver pins
Black vulcanized liners
Curly koa from are own forumite Gene
Tapered Tang
This 1 will not be leaving my shop. There's 2 mistakes on it. Even though it wouldn't effect the performance of the knife.
Anyway here are some pics.

Very nice taper on that tang. Care to point out the mistakes?

@Randy Lucius Some how I messed up the pin placement. There not even. Like same distance from butt of the knife and bolster of the knife. Also I didn't get a even stamp on my name. The "Volk" are deeper then the "ert" That's what bothers me the most is the uneven stamp. But at least I got another shop knife.

I can't wait until those are the only mistakes I see on my knives.

Really clean, though. Really like the tapered tang. I do that on my full tang knives also. Really balances the weight.

@Casey Brown Thanks. I don't make any full tang knives that aren't tapered. I think a Tapered tang shows a maker that has pride in his work.
@Redbaird You will get with your knives.

a lovely knife! The issues are so minor they do not jump out except to the maker...as it should be! Lol!

So clean and trim and light looking!

 

[Jason Volkert]

@Smallshop Thanks and its funny how that works. To me the issues look like a hot blonde with a giant pimple in the middle of her head.

I didn't even notice the "issues" until you pointed them out. It's a well made beautiful knife. I'd put the problems you raised in the category of blemishes at best. Good work

 

[Jason Volkert]

Thanks @Sean Jones. They are just blemishes. Anything worse then a blemish I just chuck it in the bucket and start over. I still would never let it leave my shop.

Nice looking knife!
