Might end up in the garbage but here goes. .156 stock 154 cm, 9 in OAL. I put a swedge on this one as well. I need to thin out the belly of the handle a bit. Critique and advice always welcome. This knife is far from done. Thanks for looking, z.T

Love the blade shape! That's going to be a beaut!

Not sure about the blade shape , but I really like the handle treatment !

 

[Sean Jones]

That's looks really good!

 

[Dennis Morland]

Looks good, so far. I like the shape. Should finish out well.

I really like that one a lot, with the exception (as you say) of taking a bit of belly from the handle. It could have come from my pattern board apart from the raised ricasso which is a very nice style touch. Top marks for that one and will subscribe to this post to see how it progresses.

If you cannot do anything else Kevin you can grind a knife. That one is awesome.

Thank you all for the great compliments!!! I’m going to post update pics as I go. And... @Bjmac, that’s the lightest handle material out there. Lol

That's going to be a nice one! One thing I'll point out, take a little more time on your handle work. You want the checkering to be nice and even.

Looks good Kevin, ....do those handle scales come in different colors or just black?

Thanks, Mike! All kinds of colors, but the black shows up the best lol.

Kevin, I haven't been on much lately busy, with family issues! You have come a long ways. This is going to be a good one I can see that! You have become a grind aficionado! By the time I get back in the shop I will have to re-learn grinding all over again!!

Thank you very much! That’s a huge compliment. I hope things get better on your end so you can get back in the shop!
