Bang Bang Bang!

My buddy Bang asked me for something he knew growing up but I was allowed to add some changes as long as it fit his needs. I took the aspects of 3 different traditional Dhas from Thailand and Laos areas and I got ahold of some 52100 in 3/16"x1 1/4"x22". I borrowed my buddies forge and anvil and hammered out the edge profile quickly and then filed and sanded till it was close and then dumped it into the fire for a bit to get the edge hot (If I weren't doing 10 things at once I would have gotten some WIP pics but not today). Tossed it in for heat treat to spring steel, sub zero quench, and polished up the edge. I didn't take the hammer marks all out and I didn't clean up more than the edge. I had some od green g10 and put some black g10 in for pins and a piece of ghost jade for the butt. Sash cord wrap. It is crazy sharp, flexible, and weighs 1 pound.

The hammer marks add some character. Definitely a cool knife, thanks for sharing.
