DavidF Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Just started on this knife for my mother. It is 1095 and this is the first grind. It is 5” handle and 7” blade. I am considering moving the handle up to allow for more clearance as I have seen this on some of the Santokus, but I prefer the handle to be aligned with the blade. If I do bend the handle, I would heat towards junction and move the entire handle up, maybe 1/4” to 3/8”. Since the end of the handle is already sweeping down, I may have to play with that a bit to fit this new angle. If you have opinions, let me know.

Joël Mercier Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 If you want the tang to be aligned with the spine and have knuckle clearance, you can put a slight drop in the spine. A few degrees will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
