It started off as a much wider blade, but unfortnately the blade melted during heat treat. After I tempered the steel I changed the shape of the blade, making sure that I do not overheat the blade.
This was my first attempt at making a metal bolster. It is made of aluminium. I have made one more Clip point knife with an aluminium bolster, but I will not be using this metal again. I think I am allergic to the fine metal grinding powder, so I will probably just use stainless or even mild steel for the next projects.
