something to show for the first 1/4 of 2010...

I've got so many irons in the fire right now (pun slightly intended) that it's hard to get any one project through to completion. I've got 3 or 4 knives in pieces, a few fixed blade blanks ground to shape, I've been trying (and failing, I might add) to do some "coin mokume" with my 2 brick forge... all while being outsourced at work and adapting to my new company (going extremely well) and dealing with a rather unexpected kidney stone removal surgery (and subsequent misery).
So when I say this is the first knife from 2010 to reach completion, it's not that I've been slacking, it's that I've been to busy!
.045 6-4 titanium liners, redG10 underlay and aerospace carbon fiber (first time working with CF... miserable stuff)... Yes indeed, it's another GEC Ultralight V2!
It's a bit thicker than usual, I really should have thinned down the G10 a bit more than I did, but the gent who is taking possession of it has giant meathooks for hands, so he's not bothered by it. It's still lighter than it's original mule
