This is what I am going to call this knife. It started a Western style full tang slicer but got morphed into a western blade with an East (Japanese) handle.
Had one idea and then just kept getting more. I am just getting to the putting together stage and hopefully get that and the handle done this week.
Gamez235 started a nice WIP so I thought I would give you one of mine.
All comments and critiques are always welcomed !!!
It started with the cutting and the HT:
Making the micarta, profiling the blade, and picking the right handle:
Piecing it together just to visualize the shaping,
it will be a six sided handle:
Specs:
Material: 1084 HT 60rc
Bolster: Black Paper micarta and brass
Handle: 5.25" Spalted Walnut
Blade: 8"
Height: 2" at heel to spine
Thickness: .07 mm
Flat grind to .014 mm
Will have convex edge at 10 deg 3M microbelt 40, 20, 9m then whetstone up to 8k
Thanks for looking and commenting,
Troy
