Heres something ive been puttering over for a little while....

OAL 7.5"
Blade length: 3.5"
3/16" stock, thinned to about 1/8" on blade
Top bevel
Near zero ground, slight convex edge, polished.
Desert ironwood scales, bookmatched with grain flow across spine
SS/Copper and Brass mosaic pins
Leather handmade sheath with leather threading.

Fun little knife i've had in my pocket ever since I put an edge on it. It really slices like crazy. I originally had it a true zero grind, but the edge was scary sharp but a bit too thin. This one has a polished edge that will pushcut through cigarette paper pretty easy. Feels nice in the hand and fits nicely in a front pocket. Sheath is black dyed tooling leather, waxes and threaded with leather thread.

Forgive the weird hued pictures....had some serious camera misfunctions (had it on the wrong white balance setting *cough*)

I remember you telling how sharp that little knife is over on KN...

now that I'm seeing the edge portions a little better, I bet you could shave your face with it. Looks pretty wicked man.

This one is my favorite.:thumbup:
 
I think I like this one, better than the others you've posted(and, I liked those too). :thumbup:
