New Knife

[Pete Crowl]

I have been busy working on Blade Show knives but finished this for a friend of mine. We traded drawings a few times and this was the result.

The blade is forged 1084, 5 inches long.

The guard, back spacer and thong hole are 416 stainless.

The center spacer is bronze with a vine pattern filed into it.

The handle is Afzaila provided by my friend, total length is 4 and 3/4 inches.

Thanks for looking.

Nice looking blade. Is that a sharpened clip point or just part of the design?

Awesome knife and craftsmanship. The spacer really sets it off for me.

Very nice looking knife Pete! What kind of sheath you got planned for it?

 

[Pete Crowl]

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

The clip has not been sharpened but it wouldn't take much to get it there.

I finished the sheath this morning, Eric. Just a bigger pouch style.

I also applied a couple coats of linseed oil to the handle then a paste wax to seal the handle since it is not stabilized. That darkened the handle a bit and made the figure in the wood stand out a bit more.

This knife feels very good in the hand.
