Finally completed my second knife. After about 8 knives I either forged to thin and then messed up on the grinder or just messed up completely on the grinder.
Made with 5160 with micarta scales. The blade is ~4.75" and handle is ~5". [Edited to correct steel, was thinking about the other one I am working to finish]
I am surprised with the results of the clay quench. I hand sanded it to 2000 grit before etching then again to 1000. Etched and sanded twice. Managed to add a few scratches when finishing the handle, and the spots on the ricasso area happened with the blade taped and paper toweled while working on handle and it got wet.
Critiques welcome, I haven't had a chance to edit more pics to meet the forum rules yet.
