Jeddly Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Grinded out this little blade the other day. It was cut from 1/8" x 1.5" 1095 that I bought from Jantz a while back. The grinding went pretty good, I think I am getting the hang of it. I left the temper color on it because I thought it looked kinda cool. The handle is some homemade micarta that a friend gave me. He calls it Zombiecarta, and it is made with camp burlap and green construction paper. I kinda like it. I installed a hidden pin made out of 3/8" stainless tube so as to not wreck the handle at the mid point of the knife. There is also a thumb groove on both sides of the handle. Hope you like it.

Jesse17 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Nice! I would have sanded the scale off after heat treating it, but that's just a matter of personal taste. I like it very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Okay Jed, you've been teasing us with your blades on IFI. You ARE going to bring them to the April meeting YES? I rarely get to see hand made blades in person.Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeddly Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 I can do that. I s'pose I should have got that scale off there, but I was in a rush to get it in the oven. I think I'd like to explore the oxide finishes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
