Title: Neck knife
Post by: Mesophilic on June 05, 2018, 10:55:05 pm
Of all the knives I've made, I never got around to doing a neck knife.  So I whipped up this little guy and he's really grown on me.

Made from Nitro V steel,  which is basically AEB-L stainless razor blade steel with Nitrogen and Vanadium added in.  Hollow ground  60-61 HRC, 2.25" cutting edge, 6.75" OAL.  Handle is black linen micarta with stabilized lacewood bolsters and red and black spacers (not shown).  I wasn't too sure what to do with the sheath since I've never had a neck knife before, so I winged it with a pattern I loosely based on some online images, and turned out pretty happy with the result.

Wearing it is more comfortable than I thought it would be and the blade profile is quite handy.
