Knife for my friend
« on: January 11, 2011, 02:20:00 PM »
My buddy requested I make him a copy of Randall Gamemaster made out of my favorite blade material (D2 tool steel). Mirror polished blade is 3/16" thick as opposed to Randall's 1/4". I heat treated it to 60 RC. I plan to post picture of the finished knife after stabilized cocobolo handle with brass fittings are installed.
