This knife was made for me by the father of a friend of mine.  I started making a knife out of leafspring and showed it to him.  He offered to finish it for me the way he wanted it, so i let him. 

The knife came out awesome!  I cold-blued the blade so that it would not rust easily.  So far no rust. 

It is a fairly big blade, but not that heavy.  Handle is nice and chunky so you can get a good grip on it.  There is plenty of material to still shape the handle if desired. 

** There is a small spot near the tip of the blade that was brazed.  It is still strong and make no difference to the cutting edge of ability **

The pommel and the guard are both made out of aluminium that accounts for the light weight in hand. 

This knife can be used as a hunting knife.  The gun-blued finish must however be removed because it remains toxic. ( according to articles online )

The heat treatment on this knife is very good.  It has a slightly softer spine to handle some flexing with a much harder and durable cutting edge.  It takes a very sharp edge.  Enjoy!
