Title: Leif spring knife 2 of 2
Post by: Mesophilic on April 06, 2020, 01:48:48 pm

Here's number 2 leif spring knife.  She's wearing stabilized figured maple.  In the sunlight it has an awesome flaming glow, but the brightness of the steel kills the photo so I had to take pics in the shade.

This one is also a quarter inch thick and weighs 13.75 oz with a 4 inch cutting edge.  Belt finished.

Thanks, guys.

Not yet, but will be working with it soon. I have to repay a couple personal debts for materials, via knifework to clear the slate.
