A friend of mine “complimented” my last knife by saying “you know, I liked the simpler knives that you made”. I do not know how much simpler my knives can get, but I guess this could be it. A very simple fulltang construction, full flat grind (albeit with a swedge), no liners, simple (and a bit dirty) hand rubbed finish.

The cocobolo scales are hollowed out inside and the tang has big holes in the middle too, which means that the glue should form one contiguous blob with lots of gripping power. With the 8 brass pins going through both scales I hope they are not going anywhere.

Steel is N690 at 60 HRC. One bit of bling is the half-sunken lanyard loop. I think it looks pretty nice and may try it again in the future.
