8/8 Custom in Layered Carbon Fibre and G10
Here is one I finished off tonight for a member here. It is an 8/8 with an aggressive barbers notch. The scales are layered carbon fibre and blue G10. The blade is O1 and has been hardened to 60HRC. The pins are nickel silver with stainless and brass stacked washers.
Thanks for looking

Now the dumb question. What is the notch for ? That one looks like it would open a beer bottle.
Thank you for your kind words, if I could answer what the barbers notch is there for I would. There are a couple of theories as to why the barbers notch was on the blade traditionally but non of them confirmed. I incorporated it because I thought it would look cool :), I haven't tried opening a beer but it might just do it ;).

Does anyone buy customs less than 8/8th's? Personally, I don't like or use blades that wide. I don't know, maybe be it's just me.
Don't get me wrong, She's a beauty, I'm just curious as to why everyone opts for largers blades these days. I had this discussion with Max a few months ago.
Thanks, I think. If it makes any difference I am currently working on a 7/8 and a 6/8 for something different. One of those is for someone who specifically asked for something smaller. So the answer is 'Yes' some people buy custom blades less than 8/8.
