Ozbow

I learned a few things with this one. Convex sabre grinds are harder to do than I thought. 6 pins are difficult to line up, 2 way tape is your friend. Should have practiced doing palm swells on something else first . Went to deep on the first one so had to make the rest suit but all turned out well in the end. The blade is 15n20 and the handle is Osage that I harvested about 10 years ago. The blade did warp a little bit along the spine but it's barely noticeable. My fault I didn't check it after the quench when I could of straightened it.

Nice work; it looks really good.

Thanks mate. I showed this knife to a work mate , he took it off me asked how much then handed me some cash. I didn't get to touch it again. He is a knife collector so I was pretty happy with myself.
