nice knoife, i dig the pommel most of all.
Thanks again for all the complements. I half way expected to get some negative feedback of some sort. But I'm loving all the positive comments. I can not wait to get started on the next one out of d2.

Wow, I didn't expect this thread come back to life. Lol. But for the record, I am working on two more at the moment. Both being 1/4" thick d2 tool steel. And let me tell you, a full flat grind on 1/4" D2 is no easy task. Especially with average hand tools. I really like to do my stock removeal freehand with a hand held angle grinder (which is how I ground the above blade), and it's just not gonna cut it for this hard tool steel.
I kind of put them on hold and have been looking into belt grinders. I picked up a small belt, disc combo sander, but realistically that is just for the wood work. But I will keep posting as I get farther along.
