My first sub hilt.

[Icho]

I'm trying to finish up any projects that I have going on before I start on any new knives. This blade has been heat treated and laying around for a while now because I couldn't decide what I wanted to do with it.. The original plan was to make it a sub hilt but many different ideas went thru my mind as I was looking at the heat treated blank. I finally committed to sticking with the original sub hilt plan. The blade is O-1 with ebony scales, stainless guards and pins with 1 mosaic pin. The blade is 4.65" long and 9.0" oal. I still have some final finishing to do and put my mark on it. Let me know what you guys think.

I like your sub hilt very much. The fit and finish looks great! It takes a lot of time and care to do work like that!

I like it especially the blade shape and guards.

Thanks guys. I definitely want to make another one but the next one will be bigger. I may even use the ironwood scales I have on the next one.

Thanks guys. It is based off of the big bear but it is a lot smaller.
