Jeremy Vaught Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hola people! I haven't been around much lately. Life hasn't allowed me in the shop much, but I'm starting to get back into the swing of things. Thought I'd share this one that I finally finished up. Specs Steel is 1095 clay hardened (interesting hardening line on this one, but I couldn't get a pic of it) Blade length from guard to tip is 4 1/4". Spine is 3/16". Handle is 4". Hidden tang is double pinned in the bocote and there is a black kydex spacer between the bocote and brass guard. Hope you enjoy lookin'.

Jeremy Vaught Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Thanks fellas! Yeah Fred, it stinks, but not as bad as when you seal it with linseed oil. It did turn out comfy Tim. Gonna have to do more like it. This one is pretty thick in the grip, but the curve is nice in the palm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
