Title: Knife #6, tapered tang
Post by: Mohillbilly on May 09, 2008, 04:44:00 PM

Forged 5160 steel.  Scales are bloodwood and pins are steel.  My first attempt at tapering a tang.

VERY nicely done Bret. I like everything about that little beauty. The finger groove? on the underside is a nice touch.

Doug, the tang taper is ground.  Just so you know, I am watching the elk hunt for St. Judes very, very, closely.
