Hey there! Long time no see.
The blade for this knife was actually ready since last summer. However, because I thought it looks very nice, I was reluctant to finish the knife, from fear of messing it up. I manned up, and finally did in the past couple of weeks.
Handle is from an industrial micarta-like material (paper composite with resin binder), brass bolster and pins. It is obvious even to the most casual of observers that I tried to peen the bolsters. It worked as far as the bolsters not falling off, but that is about it.
Steel is N690, about 4.75 mm thick, 12 cm long, 60 HRC hardness.
