Knife of the day...September 29th


Recommended Posts

  • Authorized Vendor

This is what I'd call a modified Wharncliffe as far as shape. As you can see I made the blade edge round back up to the point instead of leaving the blade edge straight. It's a beefy blade for being on the small side made from 5/32" thick 1095 carbon steel professionally heat treated to 59-60RC.

 

While not what I'd call a mirror finish you can see in some of the pictures a distinct reflection in the blade. I finished it down to 400 grit so it's pretty slick. The scales are stabilized mineral stained Afzelia Xylay sanded to 1000 grit and oiled with Scandinavian tung oil. They came out pretty sweet. They are mechanically fastened with JP Bolts as well as epoxied.

 

The blade is about 3 1/2" long and the overall length is right at 8 1/4". It has some nice jimping along the spine of the blade from the back to around 2" past the front of the scales. This knife took quite a while to make since I only had a rough plan when I started and it kind of matured as I went along.

 

It really deserves a leather  sheath but since I'm not a sheath maker it got a kydex one. The sheath it made from .08 thick kydex so it's stout and the holes are laid out for a small tec-lock. The mounting holes are 1" apart. The small tec-lock is not included.

 

This knife with sheath is for sale. If you are serious about purchasing this blade send me a  PM and I'll fill you in with the details.
