My photography skills need as much work as my forging but this one turned out ok. 1080 and 15n20 low count twist with paper linen micarta scales and grey over red liners. Roughly 13" OAL with an 8.5" blade. Should do it's job in the kitchen of a good friend who watches my dogs when I am out of town.
Nice work Bobby. That should get the job done.
Wow, love that pattern in the steel! Looks to be a great knife.
Can I watch your dogs?
Looks awesome
Great job Bobby!
Yes sir! That's very nice Bobby!

Wow - Mr. Rhea. I was just reading through your thread about the "Naming of a knife" and was thinking to myself, "what a difference between the master and the hack(me being the hack of course) you draw everything and work to meet your expectations - I hammer away with some sort of a kind of an idea for direction - and let the steel and hammer find it's way.
That said, this one is long(for me) thin, deep and straight and came out very similar to what I had in mind with little warp to repair in the HT. I am pleased and grateful for the comments. Thank you all.
