Apex

My first enclosed taper, with the patternweld steel I forged a while ago, 1080 and 15N20. The steel looks a little bit darker on the close-up photos than in reality.

Patternweld titanium bolsters, vintage Westinghouse Ivorite paper laminate scales, heat coloured stainless screws, detent folder. The smaller screws have a 1,9mm head size, for perspective of the magnification. If I go to SICAC, this will go with...

OAL 152mm 5,98 inches
CE 65mm 2,56 inches
F 86mm 3,38 inches
HRC 61
Wt 44g 1,5 ounces
BESS sharpness 110-130g

Qs and comments welcome, Ig.

Nice work. That taper is not an easy trick to pull off.
