I am so excited about this knife, that I am going to use this as my platform for the future. One-off knives are amazing and wonderful, but it is hard for people to recognize you as a maker until you have a flagship (IMHO). I will be taking this same design up to a 4" blade and down to a 2.25" blade also. Everything about it just feels so right.
3" blade, 1/8" thick
Aldo's 1084, hand rubbed to 800 then polished with Super Polishing Paste.
Right hand chisel grind to 0.010 and convex edge
0.071" Ti liners
Alabama Damascus bolster on presentation side with black linen micarta scale and full black linen micarta scale on opposite side.
Spacer is the same black linen micarta, scalloped on each edge
SS thumbstud and hardware
Lock up is tight with about half of the 0.071" liner and no blade-play.
