This is an attempt at a sort of classic fighter, a lot of "firsts" for me in this one - first time soldering a guard, first time threading a tang and tang nut, first time grinding a false edge.
It was a very different process to my previous, "full tang with a couple of bits of stick nailed onto it" builds.
It's not perfect and it was a steep learning curve but i really enjoyed this one - it was much more involved and slower but it felt like proper knife making.
I will stick some better pics up when i get a sheath made for it but that may take a while
6" blade, 11" OAL
