7" OAL, 3x1.75" blade, 3/16 O1 tool seel, chisel bevel
Some heat, some cold, a final bevel, some G10, a few bolts and this one will be good to go.

That is one wicked looking blade! Nice.

Nice grind man. Did you do the whole plunge on the grinder?

Glad you like it. The KMG did the entire bevel. I got behind the power curve on the first two that are in the shitcan right now.

Cool. And as far as the shitcan goes, editing is part of the creative process.

That turned out great!

Glad you like it. I changed the plunge (thanks Smithy) along the spine. This one is out of heat treat and ready for final bevel and some scales.

This rig will be on its way to an OCONUS active duty Marine later today. A gift for him and a privilege for me.

I think this is your best knife to date. The plunge lines on version two are better inmo.

Awesome job on the knife and choice of recipient.

I really like the way that turned out. Is your finish the heat treat scale left on it? It looks great.

Food for thought... Jimping on the spine of the ring is a nice touch.
Sweet karambit btw...

Thanks for taking a look, glad you like it. Finishes - the green jade ghost G10 Mandrill above has a heat treat scale left on, some will get parkerized and others blued and etched.
