My latest knife. I started putting this knife together because I wanted to get some time working with two of my new woods, wenge (dark wood) and bloodwood (orange wood), The second I started sanding I decided I loved both, especially the wenge, the bloodwood is amazingly hard, twice as hard as american hickory! The blade is 1095 high carbon steel. I deferentially hardened it so the cutting edge and tip is around RCH 61 while the back is closer to RCH 54-56.
So here it is, a nice little carving or whittling knife.
