[SYD32]

Finished this one up a few days ago. It is hollow ground from ATS-34. Heat treat was done by TX Knifemakers. The handles are stabilized Black Ash. This is the last of my ATS-34, my next few blades are CPM-154-CM. I will also start using 416 SS for the bolsters instead of the nickel silver that is on this knife. I am also going to try out a few new designs to include a hidden tang. Should keep me busy for a while. A couple of mistakes on this blade include etch marks (?) in the four corners around the maker's mark and a small gap between the bolster and guard. I hate it when that happens!!!!!


Thanks!

Very nice! Love the handle wood.

Very nice job. Love the file work and the dovetailing on the bolsters really sets it off.

It looks pretty good to me. I have one I am working on that will have 416 ss bolsters. I never thought about using silver nickle...obviously it works. I like the wood you chose, and the file work looks good too. Cant wait to see what you do with a hidden tang.

I would have to say that is a gorgeous blade.
