    Default Custom 9/8 Translucent G10

    Hello,

    Just finished this custom last evening.

    Semi-transparent G10 on the scales with a blue spacer.

    O1 steel

    Stainless fasteners - I blued the stainless washers on the pivot to show through dark.

    File work on spine and tail

    Finish is mirror on the spine/tang/tail and the blade is satin high polish

    Moderate smile on a 3" blade surface with a sharp point.

    I really enjoyed the shave on this one.

    Thanks for looking and feel free to let me know what you think of it.

    Best Regards
    Kenny

    Beautiful design and execution. Love the way you took advantage of the translucence of the scales with that contoured wedge, ultra cool.

    WOW is the first work that comes to mind... then looking at all the attention to detail takes over. The file work is really nice and I really like the little "Scoop" you did on the tip! The flow of the scales is SUPURB! Love how they follow the shape of the spine right down to the back notches. Makes it really shine as a flowing piece.
    PS...
    It almost looks like a modified Spanish point... SLICK !

    Wow!! Great work... It really is a beauty. Out of curiosity, why did you elect to scale it
    in Jade G10?
