Tigerstripe G10, and electro-black finish

Tigerstripe G10, and electro-black finish + sheath and firesteel

I used my etching machine to darken the steel on this knife before the final edge grinding, and again after finishing the handle to darken the exposed tang.

Thanks for looking!

WHOA! Talk about curb appeal - that's a stunner! Love that lo-pro guard.
Tell me about the steel? How thick, long, wide, etc. Proportions look very nice.

It's 3/16" O1 steel
9" OAL, 4" blade
28 degree inclusive Scandi grind

I've named these knives "BushPicks" and they are my take on a knife intended for bushcraft, camping, general outdoor use. I designed them so the profile will fit within a 1" wide piece of steel stock so they are pretty economical on steel as well. As we all know, the wider the stock, the pricier it gets. I can get 2 of these knives out of an 18" long piece of stock with almost zero waste.
