Finish ground, next is acid etch. This is some tough 8670 steel, it took a while to work through grits.

It's always nice to make BigBear, it's a challenging knife but it has a really beautiful design. Below are some steps of the realization before the tempering process.

The slabs separated from the tang during the glue up, off with them! Starting over sucks!

Still working on taking better pictures but here is an 8” gyuto in Cpm154 with black g10 scales. This was supposed to be my personal knife but a last minute Christmas request stole it away. I know need to get some better lighting for my box

 

[Tony Mont]

A little different fighter in the works. O1 tool steel right after the temper.

 

[Matt Rochester]

Pictures are getting better! This is a little knife I made for a police officer. Cpm154 with black G10 and blue liners.

 

[A.McPherson]

Good looking knife Matt Rochester !

 

[Hengelo_77]

I've shown a finished knife and was asked if I could make a simular one only a bit longer
(shown here in post #7951)
I can and I have it ready for HT now.

It'll have some figured olive wood scales to give it a nice "euro-touch".

The little sheepfoot has a three finger handle and will be my first time working with mammoth.
Looking forewars to finish it.
