Though I'm not yet finished here is a pic of my latest creation. I want a SAR Rat and a Desert Jack, yet I can't afford (or find) either. So, I made one that resembles both. The 3/8" micarta scales still need work. The blade finish turned out that way after the heat treat - it's a mini patina. It's made out of an old saw blade so the steel isn't Rat worthy, but it'll make a nice slicer at 1/8" thk. What do you think?

That's really clean craftsmanship. Really nice job on the grinding and cutting. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

My wife says yes, but my sanded, cut, bleeding knuckles say no. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />

Listen to your wife and ignore you knuckles. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Naw, I wasn't really serious. But the knife is really great. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
