Ecart Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hi folks. I've made about four knives of this particular style. Hopefully they have gotten better with each attempt. I know this one is much better than the first one I made, which I claimed for myself. This is the last of them. It is getting a little longer from here and she's getting bronze fittings. Anyway, here are some stats on the knife: OAL: 12" Blade Length: 6 7/8" Blade width: 1 3/8" just before the belly Blade thickness: ~ 3/16" Weight: 8.5 oz Forged from Circular saw blade steel. Heat treated then tempered at 425 Degrees F. Quenched in veg oil. Handle: Hand carved Cocobolo treated with several coats of Tung Oil and two coats of Butcher's paste wax. The fittings are mild steel. Peened through tang construction. Now a few pics: Oh, forgot to mention, she's for sale if you know of anyone who is interested.

CurlyGeorge Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Nice looking knife. I don't remember seeing the first one, but this one is a beauty. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecart Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Thanks guys! I had camping and hiking in mind when I designed this knife. CG That's because the first one was ugly! It was a major accomplishment for me as a knife maker though. If I can find the pics, I may post it within this thread as a comparison. Hopefully everyone will be able to see some growth from the first attempt till now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
