cool!
I'm a fan of tapered tangs.
Is the scandi grind a departure for you?

That's a very nice looking knife Gary. I'm a fan of Rick Menefee's S30V. It's really good stuff when properly heat treated.

Thank you Troutfly! Thanks geedub! Not a departure.........a distraction. I had to try something a little different. Thanks Chootem! Rick does a fine job no doubt about it. This one came out at 61rc. I could adjust my temper for 62, but hey, this'll shave a Sasquatch beard.

Anyone know what that dot above the "I" is? Is a Brinell hardness test like on a Puma knife?

That's it Larry. I thought it would be kinda cool to dot the eye like that. I also test about 1/8" up from the edge near the center of the blade, that dot gets ground off.
Thank you Sako! Glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback.

How are you getting your trademark on the knife? Is it acid etched? It really looks nice.

Thank you gunswizard! It's electro etched then marked or darkened.

very nice blade, and the right piece of buckeye can have some really cool contrast and swirls.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
