Title: Another Japanase influenced utility/hunter
Post by: Lamey on November 02, 2013, 09:00:00 AM
Forged W2 Japanese influence utility/hunter.  Blade has nice hamon with working grade hand polish.  Handle is industrial black canvas micarta.  Overall length just under 8", blade just under 4",  3/16" thick at spine.  A very stout little utility knife.  

A few quick "cell phone" pics-

That looks nice.......I like the other one with the forge finish and fancy handle better, but they are both real nice. Maybe a few flutes for improved grip in the handle? Like at the front end of this one.

Just a thought.

I thought about fluting this one too, or as I call it "bamboo" cuts... but decided to leave it smooth.

Real nice. Don't know which one I like best, this or the first one.
