Here is another new blade that i've been working on. since i gave my last one to an old friend in France, i have been trying to think of somthing slightly different to get the little grey cells working.
It is O1 steel, 3mm thick. 24cm overall length, with a blade length of 11.5cm.
It has a full length tang but, it is only 3/4 depth in the handle. The same style as the eka knives. It did cause a few problems as trying to get the groove in the handle the right width (i still didn't get it straight). The handle is Imbuya, held with araldite and brass pins.
i have tried to narrow the blade slightly towards the tip, raising it slightly, as i am torn between pukko and bushcraft style blades, so hopefully i have reached a happy medium.
Cheers
