    Default 8/8 Smiling Edge Custom in Black G10

    Finished this up last night. It is an 8/8 smiling edge modified spanish point made from O1 with a 3" cutting edge. Slight thumb notch and grippy jimps on the bottom of the tang. Mirror tang and spine finish with a satin blade finish.

    Scales are Black G10 "poly peel" with a medium texture. Wedge is black/blue recon stone and is pinned with Ni/Ag rod and stainless steel and brass washers. Pivot pin uses adjustable torx screw fittings.

    Nice! An intimidating blade that one could make friends with on the first shave. Well
    done with the classy scales giving only a little hint of what is to come. : - )

    Man that is a vicsous looking blade! That is really cool. What is G10 exactly, is it like a resin or plastic?

    Thanks! G10 is a synthetic material that is I believe is resin stabilized fiberglass. It is a very tough material and much more durable than plastic. One of my favorite materials to work with.
