Knife #5 - Most accomplished to date

[ForeverLearning]

Hi all,

Wanted to share my most recent production.

• 6" K-Tip made from O1 steel with full distal taper
• Stabilized Red Mallee Burl and African Blackwood Handle
• First etched logo
• Leather sheath made by a friend

I took a lot of advice from other makers on this one - ground, sharpened, and reprofiled the knife three times. It was tremendously helpful for understanding geometry rather than just flat grinding and saying that is how it should be.

Good job! Looks like a nice little utility knife. Do you have a choil shot by any chance and more info on the steel

Nice job. Looks great and I really like the leather.
How thin did you bring the grind before the secondary bevel?
