Sleek mid-sized knive. Sole authorship. 4.25" slow twist pattern welded blade, African Blackwood handle and scabbard, silver spacers and pins, wrought iron spacer with a glossy black patina. 8.5" overall. The knife pressure fits into the scabbard for a secure fit.
Today I finished the rough polish on the cutlass I'm making and as always with a blade like this that means it is time to beat the tar out of it testing the temper. I turned a piece of 2x4 in to chips(as well as other flexing and impact test). Here are a couple of pictures of the result (the edge is about 1/32" and not sharp so the impact is greater and the cutting ability is less then on the finished piece.
Let me know what you think.
