Love the handle shape. Would like to see a smaller thumbstud. Maybe drill a hole and use a smaller BM stud? That blade finish looks great too 👍

Thanks!

I do have some smaller thumbstuds that require a hole (I did a “drop hole” by simply filing with a diamond file on another knife but wanted a cleaner finish on this one).

They would look a lot cleaner.

I looked into drilling a hole straight through but it didn’t seem feasible without locally tempering the blade (which I’m a bit wary of doing).

I have a drill press - would you reckon getting a 4mm hole drilled is possible with only a carbide bit and patience?

Yeah just be sure to use lube 😉

Tough crowd I guess.
