Knife #2

[Eric Poris]

Hey Dogs

Here is my second completed knife. I like the blade but think I my change the handle a bit to incorporate a striker end. First time using this color G10 so I really didn't know what to expect.

Steel: CPM 154CM HRC 60-61
Pins: 416 SS
Thong hole tube: Nickel Silver
OAL: ~11.5"
Blade Length: 6.5"
Thickness: .277" (she's thick but tough)
Weight: 302 Grams (10.65 oz)
Handle material: Green G10
Sheath: Concealex with small Tek-loc clip (when I find time)




Thanks for looking and let me know what you think!

I think ya done good Eric. Those grind lines look super and from what I can see, you got the edge well centered.

Good job,
Carey

Not sure what Steve's plastic basket trick is... but if it helped you get grinds like those on your second knife, I think it's a trick I need to know. :3:

Lol Erin it's a photograph trick to help kill the glare. My photos before were terribad.

The plastic box trick is just a large white Rubbermaid storage bin laid on it's side to create a makeshift light box. I put mine on my kitchen island with a hanging light directly above it. It diffuses the light and reduces the glare.

Eric, you need to come by and I'll give you a critter skin of some sort as a background.
