Finished this one yesterday...

[Grand Torino]

This would be a skinner/camp knife I guess. It's made from 1/8" 1095 carbon steel. The overall length is  9" with the blade itself being about 4". It has a RC of 59. It has jimping and a bit of filework on the spine and brown micarta scales accented with with G10 and white G10 liners. It has brass pins and a large brass lanyard hole.

I like that.  Your handles turned out really well.

Second for great looking handles.

Krykie!  That's nice - and a nice size.  Mind if I ask you a question?  Well, I guess I am gonna ask and you can choose to answer or not.

 

What is the difference between 'jimping' and 'file work' on the spine of a blade?  I know what jimping is, I think, but can't figure out how file work differs.  Would you not use a file to create the jimping?

Jimping is for added grip while IMHO file work is for show.

Very nice work. I'm highly impressed. I do good to keep a sharp edge on my knife. :) Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Sweet!! Very nice work! The one I'm working on finishing up I'm giving to my dad for a United Way fundraising auction. I hope it brings a decent amount.

 

It still needs work in these pictures, but I'm much further along with it now.
