well almost! little bit of polishing and a sheath needed. made from 5mm o1 but the blade with the grind is 4mm at its thickest leaving a nice thick tang.
100mm blade length and 230mm overall.
used up some scraps of micarta, g10 and a little piece of kirinite for the handle and managed to get a good pien this time, o1 can work harden quickly!
any way hope you like it as much as i do! its not perfect but im really pleased with this one.

Tidy!

Lovely clean knife. I'v often wondered why you don't see more micarta puukkos. Such a durable handle combo

sold three and have one heat treated but still unfinished, not sure i ever will? just lost interest in them.

Ah, that’s a pity, I was interested to see how they performed, I have a Nepalese khukuri, which is very pretty but super thick and heavy, I really like the capability of them, but was thinking of getting a lighter, thinner one.
