Johnnyreb338 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Good afternoon friends Here's a few pics of the latest project. A guy at work wanted a knife, so I made this beauty for him but he turned his nose up at it and didn't want it. So I guess I'll add it to my collection. It's 5160 spring steel with maple burl scales ( if I remember correctly, I've had them awhile) and black carbon fiber pins. Double tempered at 410 degree. And chop tested on a railroad cross tie.

cedarghost Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Man I like that blade design. I have been thinking about making a "cleaver type knife" forlack of a better description and this looks like it would fit the bill. That maple looks good too. What did you finish it with?

MastaStan Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Really nice knife. If I was the guy, I would have chopped your hand off for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a play on a British saying; "I'd snap your hand off for that". Meaning you really like it. Most Americans wouldn't understand it.

Johnnyreb338 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Lol. Thanks for the likes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Quint- Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I like it a lot. My only comment, based on my own personal design taste, is that I wish the profile transition from ricasso to handle was less "abrupt" but I really like the knife quite a bit. I wouldn't be friends with someone who would "turn their nose up" at it lol. The shot of the spine really sold me on it. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
