WIP to Finished sheepsfoot/wharni

[Liftman]

Hey all FNG around here and I thought I'd help introduce myself with a new knife I made.

This was a creative collaboration of design with a friend of mine and is currently on its way to him to. As of right now he has only seen the initial drawings and these pictures.

Material- 3/16" CPM s35vn, Rc60
Blade- chisel ground 1.5"
Overal length- 3-7/8"
Handle- black para cord

Initial profile:


After heat/cryo treat:



Hand rubbing the finish:


Made Kydex sheath (need more practice):


Handle wrapped, and dirty finger prints all over it, done:


And finally in hand shot for size comparison. I wear an Xl glove.


Let me know what ya think for one of my first knives.

That's a neat little knife. Looks like it would be a good emergency cutter that you can stash almost anywhere.

nice knife! Its also one heavy little blade.

[Liftman]

Thanks! It's a great little cutter and yes it does have some heft to it which I think really makes using such a small blade, really comfortable and stable.

Sweet! Did you heat treat it or have it sent out?

Does that paracord knob thing help the overall feel of the knife?

[Liftman]

Thanks! I sent it out to Peters Heat Treat, and the lanyard knot is more for looks and something to grab onto.
