My knife builds

[BBob]

I did a bit of reprofiling on this design. I wanted to slim it down a little and make it a good "do it all" field prep knife. Its sort of part boner and part hunter.

The steel is 3mm Nitro V with cryo treatment. The blade is a full flat grind, with a nice distal taper down to the point. The handle is a tapered tang, with Tiffany blue G10 handle scales, black g10 liners and stainless Loveless bolts.

Not fan of the color but overall the knife looks great!

Yes, people are going to go either way on the colour I think.

But just think, when your wife says "get me something in Tiffany blue for my birthday", you've got her covered

Just finished up a knife with my first go at using sambar antlers for the handle. A guy that I used to hunt with does a bit of forging and wanted to learn about knife making after seeing some of my knives. He spent a few days with me last year, and I took him through the whole process. He offered to give me some antler for handle material, and I was happy to take him up on the offer. As expected, I learned a few things in the process of working with the antler, but pretty happy with how this first one turned out.

Steel is 2.5mm VG10 stainless random pattern Damascus in a full flat grind. The handle is a tapered tang with antler scales, black G10 liners and brass pins & lanyard tube.
