Utility knife
I had a small scrap piece of 1095 left over and saw one of these and made it just to see. It cuts wood very well, and scores leather very well. I opened up a box of rasps a good buddy sent me as well. Whatcha think? I left the HT scale on for the look.

that is a nice kiridashi. it looks comfortable to the hand.
-
Looks useful. Is the shined edge on the back from the strop?
-
Looks mighty handy. I like it.
-
No its from the paper wheel I use to hone the edge. I actually just got done cleaning the scale off of it. This is the frst time I HT'ed 1095 and I like this steel. It doesn't seem to rust as easy as 1080-84.
-
It looks like a handy keeper to me. Nice job.

Sure be interested in your heattreat parameters....Nice!

I heat my oven to 1475 and let it soak at that temp for 20 minutes to stabilize the oven temp. Then I insert the blade and soak for 10 minutes once it gets back up to 1475. I quence in McMasterCarr queching oil, then 400-425 for two hours x 2. I got some good results with that HT.

awesome looking knife. I call that style a skew knife.

Looks like it will give a wicked cut...very nice,I like the pattern of the blade and The Micarta.
