Hi, this is my latest project. It is the first full tang knife I've done, next time I'll try bolsters. My idea behind this knife was something I could do in a reasonable amount of time so a hunter could actually afford it. Originally I planned on finishing it on the grinder but I was liking the hamon so decided to polish it. Even with the additional polishing it all came together pretty quick.

W2 tool steel with chestnut handle. 5" blade 9.4" overall.

Very pretty knife! I like that polish too. The edge bevel seems short to me... but I can't tell from the pics how much the primary bevel thins toward the edge. I like very shallow bevel angles on my knives.
