Hello everybody and happy new year!

This is the last knife I made for 2024. It has some traditional aspects to it but it's not 100% traditional made. Nonetheless it was a blast doing this build even though it was not as easy as I expected.

Steel: U10A
Handle: forged mild steel guard and habaki, curly maple core (can't be seen, you will have to take my word for it), stingray pattern leather (this is not real stingray leather) and synthetic black wrap

Dimensions:
Overall length: 34.5 cm - 13.58''
Blade length: 19 cm - 7.48''
Blade width: 3 cm - 1.18''
Blade thickness: 6 mm - 0.236''
Handle length: 12.5 cm - 4.92''

Flat grind with a convex edge. There is a pin going through the handle and the tang. The wrap is soaked with marine grade epoxy and it's rock solid. My pictures are quite awful, the video in HD is a better representation.

It comes leather sheath cover that has the same pattern leather as the handle.

MANY SCAMMERS ARE LURKING THE FORUMS LATELY, WATCH OUT. I WILL NEVER ASK FOR PAYMENT USING FRIENDS AND FAMILY. IF THAT HAPPENS, IT'S NOT ME!

Thanks for looking!
Tony.
