Hello guys, been a while..too hot to forge and not much inspiration to do anything "new"...

but now i have a challenge, my first serious show where i will put out my works,

usually i just stay close to the forge and demonstrate how to make stuff.

This one is kinda a collaboration with a friend of mine, he forged the pw steel and i made the rest.

the handle is made out of simple ironwood, the guard is made out of G10, first time using this stuff for the guard.

i know some may avoid it as you newer know how a customer uses a knife, and a metal one is preferable to avoid damage....

I like the contrast it created from the wood to the steel <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//smile.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

overall length: 26 cm or something like 10"

blade length: 14 cm something like 5" 1/2"

weight: 200 g

any suggestion is welcome, don't restrain yourself, i like constructive criticism <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//smile.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
