Hello all!

Been experimenting with some half tangs, alike Phil Wilson's design,

This is the latest go at it,

This is hard maple, orange g10 and wenge,

O1 at 58HRC wIth a 95mm blade

The half tang makes it have a really wonderful balance, a very nimble feeling blade, i've also made it a constant taper to the tip so a lovely knife for all kinds of detail work.

I feel it's stout enough to take some abuse, too!

Ended up hand sanding the bevels on this, and both the small and big one are sheathed up and ready to be shipped off to the customer
