Reground Joseph Smith with G10 Micarta
This is my Joseph Smith reground and rescaled with G10 micarta. I was looking for one of these blades for a while and finally got one. The spacer is tapered carbon fiber- I like the contrast. Washers are stacked brass/SS/brass with nickel-silver peened pins. The blade was really pitted before, and now looks great. Pics don't do it justice and the color isn't quite right. The scales are really a pale but light green that looks better in person (brighter green than the pics). You can see some of the fiberglass pattern in person too. As always, comments and constructive criticism are welcome! Enjoy
P.S. the wedge is almost an inch. It measures .9 something.Last edited by Philadelph; 08-19-2008 at 02:29 AM.

Absolutely phenomenal!
Was the point on that blade original? If so, I'm going to be on the lookout...

Alex... man!
That turned out absolutely phenomenal! Can I have it back now? Huh? Can I? Can I? You're right, that blade was really pitted. You did a great job with the re-grind. Thought I'd show the "before".
The design of the scales really compliment the shape of the blade. Your eye and creativity is simply enjoyable.Last edited by The Blacksmith; 08-20-2008 at 09:16 PM.
