This one is almost ready. I need to do a little bit of final polishing and create a sheath for it but otherwise it's complete. The handles are stabilized Blackwood. This particular Blackwood came from Australia or Tanzania.
Thanks for looking!
Jeff

Nice job!
I've been on a bit of a small fixed-blade bender lately. Many can easily do the same jobs a bigger folder can; while being slimmer and lighter to carry around--especially if they're short enough to stick in a back pocket.

Nice looking blade. What kind of machine you grinding on? Small wheel attachment?

Thanks Ross,
I bought a new Ameribrade 2" x 72" grinder this year and have been picking up additional attachments as I go. I do have a small wheel attachment for it and an assortment of different size wheels.
I ordered a surface grinder attachment for it about 6 weeks ago (4-6 week wait for this particular attachment). They just notified me last Friday that it's being shipped. Im hoping to have it tomorrow or Friday.
Having a really good grinder has made it much more enjoyable to work on knives. It was pricey but to me it was well worth it!

I understand that, when I started I used an angle grinder lol. Better equipment leads to better products imo. The surface grinder attachments kinda baffle me. But I have a small surface grinder so maybe that's why. Be curious to see how you like it. Belts keep getting more costly too sadly!
