julian Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I finished this little knife up yesterday. It's forged from a 1095 nicholson file, differentially heat treated; there's a faint hamon that I didn't try to bring out, camera didn't catch it. The handle scales are stabilized Buckeye with four brass pins and one mosaic pin in the middle of the handle. I put a stain finish on the blade. It's very dainty and turned out very clean except some of the gorilla glue that foamed out on the blade (I'm going to switch to a different non-foaming epoxy). It's just big enough so you can put your weight into it when you cut, but I made it for small cutting jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
