While waiting for the Custom Project to come back from heat treat.............

I started this really cool blade! I 3 1/2" blade and 7 1/2" overall and THIN! I took a couple of risks with this one. I ground this blade as absolutely as thin as I could so it would be a real slicer, hopefully it won't warp while heat treating. I also did a quick dip in acid and sanded before heat treat to see what kind of color differences I can achieve.

I found a small set of Presentation Grade Amboyna Burl, red in color that I will use for scales if all is well when the blade gets back from treating! I think Copper and Stainless Mosaic pins are calling. This should be a beautiful and performing knife! What do ye think? Jim

It's going to be a nice knife!

Decided on a "Blue Jean Burl!" for the scales.

Although I personally would prefer the Amboyna Burl, that will still look very good.
