6/8 - Quarter Hollow Humpback in G10 Jade Ghost

**Maximilian** · 03-04-2011, 03:18 PM

I gotta tell you. Lots of elbow grease and hand sanding but so much fun.

I have said it before and I'll say it again. It's not as easy as one thinks. Respect to all those that paid their dues grinding and chewing metal for years. It really takes practice and more practice. There's so much to learn and perfect. But in the end it is so rewarding.

Steel used is 1095. Heat treating and everything else is done in the house. Its a 6/8, 1/4 hollow. Cutting edge is 2.90. Jimps on both sides. Scales are G10 Jade Ghost with a tapered G10 Hunter Orange wedge and third pin. SS, brass and silver nickel hardware.

I honed it up and it's nicely passing all my tests. I'm holding off my shave for this WK as I don't have enough stubble.

Have a great WK,

What a Maxterpiece

All that stuff that you said about steel and technical details associated with making this went right over my head, and I am certain a lot of blood and sweat went into the genesis of this beauty...but I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE the end result.

You should call this a "humpback blade"

.

I love the humpback and I love the French point. And that Monkey tail; very very unique. Very classy

. The G10 jade also fits her perfectly.

That is beautiful, you are a great craftsman. I am really digging the tang and tail.
