    Default 10/8 Custom Black G10 "Shamu"

    Ok, this is a new design that I have been working on and just finished. When I got it done my wife said it looked like a whale so thus the name. lol The scales are g10 and the steel is O1. Have no idea what to call the blade shape. At the deepest portion of the blade top of spine to edge is 11/8 and it tapers... but the actual grind is more like an 8/8. I made her half hollow on the grind. Finish is satin buff overall. I beveled the top of the spine to make honing similar to a normal razor with a smile, kind of. hehe I couldn’t wait to shave with it so I gave it a go this evening and loved it! Anyway, Thanks for taking a look.

    Best Regards Kenny



    Great name idea Glen, I like it! Thanks to your wife since she thought of it.

    Interesting blade design. Looks a lot like a skinning knife I have.
