Tapered tang fighter

[john april]

just finished this today, memorial day. the 1084 blade is just under 5 inches long. the entire knife is done in a hand pulled 1000 grit finish. my idea was to make a military/tactical styled knife with no guard. tapered tang, green canvas, thin red g10 liners. the clip is sharp. leather sheath. thanks for taking a look ! john

Looks awesome, bud! The thumb ramps actually make the whole knife for me. Something about them seems to balance the entire design. Nice!
