Little knapped knife......sort of.

[BenR.T.]

This is a super simple little knife I just finished.
I gave it a scalloped/knapped handle and a stone washed finish. Nothing fancy, but it is ready for work!! The OAL is 7", with a 3.5" blade of .214" 5160. I call these little all steel knives my BPK's or Bomb proof knives.
Let me know what you think!

I'm curious how you did the handle? did you use a bench wheel grinder and then smooth it out with a dremmel? I do a lot of peened copper for belt buckles and bracelets and I love a hammered look on any kind of metal. I really like the end result of this knife! Also, did you use Vinegar to get the patina?
Gorgeous Knife!

The texture was carved on the 2" wheel on my belt grinder. I was etched in Feric chloride, cold blued, and then tumbled. Vinegar would get a similar etch if left about 6 hrs.
