BenF Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hello, This is my first commissioned piece, I was requested to “make something awesome” as long as it was a utility knife, and here is the result. This is only really my third blade, but I’m very pleased with it! The blade was etched in ferric chloride, which gave it that strange mottled pattern you can see – not sure how that happened?! Any ideas to the reason? This was also my second attempt at any realy leather work. I left it undyed as it think it goes nicly with the oak handle. The Knife Overall Length: 241mm Blade Length: 114mm Thickest Point on Spine: 2mm Weight: 170g Steel: 1095 Handle: American Oak Scales All comments and critique welcome! Thanks for looking.

Pault17 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 That looks very "utility". I could easily make use of that on the construction site, and just about anywhere else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch4ging Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Nice knife, Ratso! I do like the natural finish of the sheath with the oak handles as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
