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. __________________ John Doyle You have nothing to fear but fear itself...........and bears. |

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.
