Title: Week #3 hunting folder
Post by: Kevin Evans on September 02, 2011, 03:24:00 PM

This knife was a real struggle,So much so it will be my personal carry probably.
It was my first attempt with W-2. Bad news is I have a ways to go to get Harmon correct,good news this may be the best steel I have used it got hard and is the sharpest stuff I have seen.I believe the performance will be great.
As you can see I left the blade dark etched I am hard on a knife ,they rust bad so I thought leaving it etched dark would help stop rust.
Here are the specs.
W-2 steel
My Damascus (bolsters)
Stainless screws
gold and Black stabilized maple scales
file worked back-strap
Blue Iodized titanium liners

And finally the file work ,All I can say is I am very stuborn and I will get better !!

I think you are making excuses so you can keep the knife for yourself. ;) Looks terrific to me.

I used some of that myself. Left-overs come in handy.
