Hello everyone, I show you the last thing I have done, an order from a friend to use on their trips to the mountain. It is 1095 steel about 9.5 inches (24 cm) long, 5 inches blade (12.5 cm), and 1.5 inches wide (4 cm) with a spine thickness of 0.2 inches (5 mm), with an edge hardness of approximately 57/58 RHC. The grips are made of black G10 with red spacers and the sheath is kydex lined with leather. It is my first attempt to do a differential / hamon quenching. Greetings to all IMG_1915.MOV

thank you, the truth is that handle was the biggest challenge since I had never done anything like.

Well, at last it is almost finished, it needs to be sharpened, as it is a gift for my brother, I am going to take it to be sharpened by a professional. This has been an interesting project because it is the first time I do many things that I had not done before. It's the first time I make a knife of this "kitchen" and more "Japanese" style, that I make a hidden tang knife and that I make a handle for this type of knives, that I make a handle composed of several materials and the first Once I use ebony. The knife is made of semi-stainless steel D2, 9,8 in total long, 4.3 of h

Thanks for the feedback
