Another blade, something quite different!

[sybo]

It's been a while since I have posted a blade being we had to move out for repairs after we were burglarized. So I sat down this past weekend and started fiddling around on paper. I wanted something different, something with lines that were flowing. Something with some size. ( not quite GT size)

So I came up with this basic shape...

Now at this point it sure doesn't look like a lot but I invision all stages that make visual changes. After some time on the grinder, lots of hand sanding and a healthy amount of bead blasting, this is what is on its way to heat treat!i
It's made of 5/32" 01 steel, overall length is 12". I didn't get a measurement on the blade length but I would say around 6 3/4". It will be hardened to 61-62. I left the edge to be sharpened a bit thicker so this blade can be used for some serious chopping without damage or chipping! Thanks for your inspiration Grand Torino!! Cheers to all! Comments welcome!!

Nice.  Can't wait to see it finished with scales!

I really wish you two would stop all this. You make it very hard to maintain just one addiction!

I think this one will be fantastic.

That's going to be a nice knife.  Hope the damage/loss from the burglary weren't too bad.

Scales in the making!! I think with the Stainless steel pin and tube it will look cool with the blue color!! Mark@sea will be making the sheath!!

What type of wood is that? I'm interested in fashioning a blue handle I picked up. Already have stain from another project.

It's not wood, it's G-10.
