6 1/2" Integral
« on: December 04, 2011, 12:45:00 PM »
This is my first Integral, but not my last. this is 52100 steel with brass spacer, african mahogany handle. 2 1/2" blade. Lin did one and every since then i wanted to do one, this is what i came up with.
 
 
 
 

Thanks for looking
Dana

Two in a row, man!  That's beautiful.  I love the lines (er, curves) and proportions.  That maker's mark is nice as well.

Dana- Great work. Can you explain how you finished the back of the ricasso where it meets the spacer?

Thanks guys
gables, I tried to do it like Lin did but I ground most of it then put it in my file guide, just like you do the back of the ricasso on a regular blade.

I really like that knife, Dana. 52100 is one of my favorite knife steels too.
