For several years, I've been somewhat limited to knives under 8 inches because of the small size of my heat treating kiln. This blade sat on my work bench for no less than two years awaiting the time I would either send it out for heat treat or get a bigger oven. I got a bigger oven, and this knife made it into the first batch of blades. This knife is 9 1/4" long with a 4 1/2" blade of D2 steel at RC 61. The handle features dovetailed mesquite bolsters and rosewood handles. The sheath is my work as well.
In other fun news, I finally finished my 2x72 grinder. It's based on the NWG plans and has a 1 HP motor with step pullies for three speeds. I also found out this week that I have a knife published in Knives 2013. Thanks to Kayla for submitting my pic
