Lack of content
I have been extremely busy with getting settled into our new home, plus I went back to working at the old manufacturing plant. The jobsite is a two hour drive from here but the compensation is well worth it. Unfortunately I haven’t had much time to dedicate to the photo blog but rest assured I am working on knife related things and hope to have more updates after the new year.
Tiny tanto
Small O1 tanto with paper Micarta scales, white G10 spacers, and stainless Trox fasteners. The razor sharp 1/8″ thick blade has been lightly etched with ferric chloride and the cutting edge brought to a high polish. Sheath is Kydex.

I like to use Sharpie fine point markers to roughly plan how my scales are going to look in relation to the plunge cuts and maker’s mark. Again, it’s just a rough idea and I may change things up during the grinding process, such as bevel height or plunge angle, or I may decide to add a swedge. Below: The top knife has been heat treated and beveled. All that’s left is GunKote, scales, and sharpening. I brought the bevels to a near zero edge which will make for a very sharp blade.

Old school
Before slide machining or the “MOS” models were popular, we had to use a mount if we wanted to put an optic on a Glock.
