Maple Fighter
This was a knife I wasn't planning on making originally, but when I saw Aldo's hamon contest on Facebook I figured I'd give it a shot. I've only recently started playing with hamons and I only know enough now to know how much I still need to learn If my mind serves correctly this is (I believe) my fifth knife with an attempted hamon. This one if made from 1095 and was also a continued experiment in my interest in laminate handles. This one is a mix between curly maple, walnut, and leather; I also decided to do my take on a clam shell guard from antiqued copper. Tomorrow or later today I' start working on the sheath and I think it will incorporate some fold form copper. What do you think?
Specs: Blade length: 9 1/2 inches Blade width: 1 3/4 inches Handle length: 6 inches OAL: 15 1/2 inches Steel: 1095 Thanks for looking. Robert |

I know I said I like it but the more I look at it I'm falling bad for it now that the sheath is done. Looks like a pirate should be holding it in his teeth as he swings from a rope to overtake a ship and collect his bounty.

Thanks Mike. I was able to finish the sheath today, I just wish photographing the handle wasn't such a bugger. It seems no matter what I do I can't get the luster to shine through. But anyway here she is I've decided to call it the Relic Fighter. What do you think?
