just finished up. Now and then i can get to something that not on order list. it keeps me fro going nuts adn lets me keep pushing myself artistically or try new skills. this one was forging as its one a the few knives i have even forged.
ok specs blade
front of handle to tip 314mm
edge 296mm
spine to edge 38mm
hollow ground back on a 4foot platen flat ground front bevel as about 7 degree so a 2ndary at the proper15 can be made and still have a super thin knife
spine is 4mm at the gaurd 3m half way and tapering all the way out to the tip
handle 165mm long 26-30mm tall 24-28mm wide (taper thinner to the front of the handle) to show about the balance of the OCT. the other sides at the front is 25 and 24mm so perty close to round
a light chamfer around the but to knock down the sharp edge
balance point is right at the plunge cut of the grind and the knife’s total weight is 335g
