Title: Scout Fighter
Post by: srtben on May 02, 2015, 07:30:00 PM

Hey everyone! It's been awhile since I have done one of these, and this one came out pretty sweet IMHO. The blade is 80crv2 at 60rc with a stonewashed finished. It has a false edge and a thinly tapered tang. I gave it thick orange g10 liners under green canvas micarta. I blasted the handle for a nice texture and then tumbled the whole thing for a cool antiqued finish. Pretty pleased with it, the copper has a cool look. The sheath is hand stitched veg tan leather that is hand dyed Saddle tan (it looks kind of orangish in the pic).
It was then sealed with my own beeswax blend leather finish.

Thanks for looking!!

Awesome.  I really like this blade design of yours.  Everything works really well together.  I always love your photos too.  You could post pictures of just the props you use and you'd still have some of the coolest posts on TG.

Very attractive knife Ben - love the color combo along with the texturing.  It all blends well with the sheath!
