    Default 8/8 Custom Slotted Non-folder - The Industrialist

    G'day gents. Here is the an 8/8 French Point Non-Folder that I just finished off today. As usual the steel is O1 and she's hardened to 61HRC.

    I was looking for a more industrial, machined sort of look with this one.

    Not really much else to say, other than the filework along the tang was much easier to draw on the concept sketch than actually getting it to work on the steel

    As always, thanks for looking.

    I could see me using that in a flash. Very creative. Would you say that they are easier to use than a traditional?

    No, not really. I don't find them harder to use at all. This one strops well and is fairly nibble to use also.

    is there a reason for the slot undercutting the heel other than it looks cool?
