Next finished knife - K.I.T.H.
I kinda feel repeating myself: Havent been around for a while. I have started a local Knife in The Hat (K.I.T.H.) event here, and this is my knife to be offered. Enjoy. My next finished knife after the customers one is this fellow here: Bill of materials: O1 tool steel 3mm Loveless stainless screws Carbon laminate handle A few pics of the process: Template credit goes to Dan @ DCKnives.com this was originally his DS1 template, redrawn by a fellow knifemaker.

Have to admit, I love this shape: Current O1 projects after
