Knife of my dreams

[Gcckoka]

So it all started with an idea, after 1 month of hard work it is done , here are some specs
Hand forged
80CRV2 Finnish Krupp high carbon steel
Zero degree scandi grind
59-60HRC hardness
Gaboon Ebony handle
Brass pins , tube and 0.5mm spacers
Covered with 5 coats of boiled linseed oil
Tapered tang
21cm from bottom to tip , 10cm recurve blade , 3,2mm thick
Best quality Polish veg tan leather sheath with basket weave decorations, burnished and covered with natural beeswax
I also think about making a matching huge ferro rod if the buyer will want one

Your honest opinion is more than welcome , just consider that it was all hand made , all made with files even the bevel , only power tool used was a drill to make holes

Looks lovely that, nice work pal.
I own a couple blades in that steel and its brilliant stuff. Make sure you dry it right away if it gets wet though as it will literally surface rust in a matter of hours.

Pretty much the knife of my dreams too .. Not much to fault there and a ton to applaud .. like that recurve, or that mythical bit of ebony

Thank you very much guys ! Also consider that is the first knife I ever forged
I battoned through dry walnut across grain and did the brass tube test for chips , went like butter and kept the edge

Looks great!
Just note, that Krupp is a German company.. Your granddad might remember the old saying - Hart wie Kruppstahl..?

I specially like that the sharp edge does not go all the way back.
Great size of blade. Good for 99% of tasks you can need a knife for!

Looks like a Gcckoka - style knife, a 'user'.
The handle appears of a size that would be good in my big hands.
