templehound Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I reduced the surface of the O1 blade flank by mixing up flat and hollow grinds. it stropps and sharpens easier and faster to a non bevel sharpness. Due to the climate and the dazzling tropical sun, the surface of the horn developed a beautiful texture and lightened up the subtle green color ...one of the cases where "destruction" causes beauty. It has a copper ferrule and the tang is riveted on the butt. Sheath is made of a bamboo stalk copper and ray skin..... Blade length is 90 mm and 205 mm overall.

ausfire Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Lovely knife. I like the rough look on the horn. (On scrolling quickly through the topics, I read your subject line a 'Buffalo steak'. I thought we might have a BBQ recipe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The mix of the hollow and flat grind sooks very subtle. The sheath is really interesting. Is it meant to just be carried or tucked in a belt, ( either or?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
templehound Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks Guys! Daswulf, it is not carried behind or at a belt, for this I think its definitely too small. Just carried in the pocket or bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
