Latest hunter, Ironwood and Bronze...

Here's one I just finished up for a return customer. A really nice hunter with some desert ironwood and bronze fittings. The ironwood has amazing depth that I have a hard time capturing. The hamon also has some cool 'ghost' activity above the transition line that I also didn't capture very well. Maybe see some use soon if it gets there in time??

Specs:
Hand forged from 1075, clay quenched and etched
8 1/4" overall with a 3 3/4" blade, .195" at the ricasso with a nice full distal taper
Rounded spine and ricasso edge for comfort
Bronze fittings with double coined bronze spacers
Desert ironwood handle

All comments welcome.

Really like this one, John. I've been wondering-what method do you use to round the bottom of the ricasso without digging into the back of the blade where it drops down? Hope that makes sense...

I really like your knives, very clean work and classic simple lines, everything just seems to flow right. Very well done, perfect examples of beauty in simplicity and fine workmanship.
