One of mine...

...just shot this picture of one of my TK-11 Warnies today. I thought the knife and picture turned out pretty good.

The blade steel is D-2 heat treated to RC-61 by Paul Bos. The handle scales are textured blue/black G-10 (one of my favorites).

Thanks for looking!

Tom you have inspired me to call up my buddy and take the Plott hounds out for some white meat.

 

[Tom Krein]

Don, good to see you! How have you been??

That's one practical looking knife you made there! I would carry one like that in a heartbeat.

Excellent job on both the blade and the photo!

Good looking knife, Tom.

How'd you grind that notch?

 

[ArfinGreebly]

Excellent

I would certainly not be embarrassed to carry a knife like that.

Love the Wharncliffe profile.

 

[Tom Krein]

Thanks!

HSO, its a secret....




okay, not really

I grind it with a drill bit... Yep, I drill the hole and then cut into it so I get a very nice radius. I guess you could also mill it in, but I like the low tech method I use.

I grind it with a drill bit...

Ha! I'd spend 3 hours setting up the mill - and then screw up the whole knife.

Doing good - going to the Vegas Show tomorrow!

Great looking knife and well composed photo.
Good 'ole D-2, a good steel made even better by modern heat treatment.

Hey Tom,

Good to see you over here. Stop by occasionally myself. Get your package yet?

 

[rbmcmjr]

Tom makes some nifty stuff. I'm big fan. I've got a piece of Talonite goodness on its way to me.
