I was hunting around for projects while I am waiting for a batch of 3v blades to return from HT, and fired up my forge for the first time in a couple of years. After a little bit of messin' around I came up with a few of these-
1-piece construction from 1/4" 5160 steel, about 14" overall and just under a pound. Paracord grip wrap and a little kydex cover. I really like the feel of these, I wondered about vibration transfer but it was not much of an issue with just the bare tang, and seems non-existant with the cord wrap.
Through hardened using a digital oven, nomalized in reducing heats, quenched in parks AAA, and tempered at 475F.
