Hello,

I'm actually making a small gent knife with 1.2442 tool steel and a buffalo handle. It's for a friend of mine who likes fishing and hiking in the woods, so a small, light weight knife will be a good choice.

Blade from 1.2442 tool steel at 60 HRC, 3.2"

As I had some time and the blade lying arround, I started with an experiment, a subhilt with a small second guard, that will allow different grips.

Still a lot to do :D
