Hello,

I nearly finished this Herrenmesser.

85mm blade from 3mm 1.2442

11cm handle,

101gr.

Soldered guard from marine bronze,

Spacer from Alu, copper, mammoth,

handle from buffalo horn.

Still need to polish again the handle and it's finished!

Hello,

several reasons: Easier to sharpen, estetics and soldering the guard is easier as I won't touch the edge with the flame and so maybe soften the steel.

But at the end, I think it's more estetic reasons :D As I like when the ricasso has the same width as the ferrule under the guard.

I once made a knife without this notch, the edge finishing directly on the guard - some hunters prefer this, as the blade can't get catched up.
