My first ultra compact knife

[Frosty]

A buddy at work wanted a small fixed blade for horizontal carry. That’s what I gave him 6 1/4” overall with a 2 1/2” cutting edge.

Looks great! What blade steel did you go with?

Thank you. It’s 1084 high carbon.

Great profile on it! Handle came out great too! Kudos sir!

Thank you! I was concerned that it wouldn’t be comfortable with the little upsweep in the handle but after rounding the scales it’s surprisingly comfortable, it only goes to about the center of my palm. The guy who ordered it wanted a three finger length handle

That sweep is sexy! Truly, it looks beautiful. If it was full handle and 4” blade, I would do some jimping on the spine. But a 3 finger isn’t getting torqued. You delivered a sweet piece!

Personalized sheath is done. Not @freekforge quality, but the recipient loves it so I’m happy with it.

Dang.....you don't mess around, Frosty......you got 'er done !
