JSwift 0 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Made this one from 1080. It's 10 inches overall. 4.5 inch handle. 5.5 inch blade. 2.5 inch clip is sharpened. I tried to do a clay heat treat but no luck bringing out a hamon. I guess those come with time. Also made the Micarta for the handles. Stainless tubes for pins. I even tried my hand at a sheath. Thanks for looking! Link to post Share on other sites

Greg C. 0 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Nice, great job for so early on. I wish mine would look like that . . . One thing that bugs me though is the very tip, how it sort of goes strait for a quarter of an inch or so. Accident or intentional? Good job on the sheath too.

JSwift 0 Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 I think that may just be a trick the camera is playing. Maybe the angle I took the pictures at. Thanks for the comments! Link to post Share on other sites
