This is the blade in the choil thread. It is not finished yet but will be pretty soon. I just thought you might want to see some activity. I have to hand sand it and test it, then etch it. It's 5 3/8 inch long after the filing is done. It still has a little fire scale in some tight places that will go away in the hand finishing. I'll be taking pics along the way but be patient with me. I have a lot going on.    
 

I like where this is going.

This one is going to be nice, Thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to the finished knife. Nice looking blade.

Can't wait to see it!

perfect shape little hunter,  that and a big Bowie is all a man needs in the woods.

Thanks guys. I got to finish the blade and etch it, so here it is before the guard and handle goes on.
 

           

Beautiful blade, Lin. Like that pattern.

Is that a higher layer count before twisting? Just curious because it looks a little different than your twist pattern usually looks. Just as attractive,  but different.  Have you chosen a handle material yet?

Chris

Thanks.
Chris, I used a mix of high and low layer count. The high was a "W" pattern. I'll be getting a handle on it soon, but have not settled on that yet.

that's a beauty Lin.
