Thanks guys! I really appreciate it!! The bevels are about 3/4" tall and have a semi smooth transition into the flat/spine of the blade...Kind of a pain in the ass to take a pic like this one handed lol. Here's a few pics to explain.

I tried to take everything i have learned on what makes a good knife and put it into this one. I think this will live up to my expectations....Now i just need to make me one

KNife has shipped, hope you see it by friday!!!

Sorry Tk59.. To answer your question, at the temper temperature, 60-61 rc hardness. Enough to hold a wicked edge and tough enough to not chip out. I like W2 because it has better wear resistance than the 10xx series of steels, and wear resistance make for a great edge

Nice work Mike.....now it's in that wood pusher's hands to pull it home.

 

[Mike Davis]

Thanks Dave! I hope he likes it...I am kinda nervous...not going to lie lol.
