Ollie's dad commissioned a knife and after a few changes of mind on the way for the design, it's done.

The steel is 1/8" thick old saw blade. The first section of the spine has been rounded for comfort then squared off as it angles to the tip to leave a good edge for a ferro rod.
The handle is made up of Ebony bolsters with Nickle silver pins and Cocobolo with Titanium tubing.
The sheath is a deep fit, dyed with vinegaroon and a little bit of playing on the belt loop to look like the cocobolo grain. :lol:
Oh, and it's not called SLOG because it was a slog to make but it's the name Ollie chose from the start.
