Everything goes wrong! For some reason when I quenched this blade it put a small wave on the edge. You can see in one of the photos were I hammered it almost straight. Becuase I screwed up the blade I decided to try some new things. This was my first attempt at a SFG handle and I profiled down to far exposing the tang. I also peened the brass pin a little to much resulting in a hair line crack in the pakka wood. I have decided to keep this one and make it a test knife. I will test its performance and reliability this upcoming camping season.
