After 10 or so years of blacksmithin' I've made bunches of patch knives and a few throwin' knive's, but never a knife-knife. No projects, winter boredom and curiosity finally got me to do one!! It's 9.5" overall with a 5" blade, 3 brass rivet's, one brass lined lanyard hole and rosewood scales. It should cut through stuff real fast cause it's made out of a 1980 Corvette coil spring LOL

Monkerywright, I bought a slab off ebay about 10 years ago, I don't recall what it cost at the time.
Good job ! Looks nice.
Nice looking knife.
How does it feel in your hand? If it feels good in your hand you will use it, if it doesn't you won't.
Actually it feels real good in the hand, which leads me to a question......Anybody out there want a comission to make me a sheath? Please send me an email, it can be cash or trade for blacksmith work, thanks.

You might want to post this question in the "wanted" section of the trade blanket, that way it will get seen by more folks.
