i finished another of the Al Mar-inspired fighters [called the AM-IV],and a bolstered Megashark,recently.
the bolstered Megashark was a challenge,but i enjoyed it.
the AM-IV is 5mm thick Bohler N690,hand-rubbed,with 303 bolsters and ss thong tubes,polished on the i d.
oal is around 12.5 in with a 7.5 in blade,with a sharpened top edge.
scales are burgundy linen with red fibre liners.
the Megashark is 6mm thick Bohler N690, hand-rubbed,with 303 bolsters,ss tubes and pins.
scales are black linen micarta,with red firbre liners on a tapered tang.
oal is 12 in with a 7 in blade.
i made leather sheaths for both knives but forgot to take pics.
i'm getting into bolsters,so i'll make more knives with,in future.
thanks for looking.
