Blackwood Fighter/Ivory Inlay

I ended up doing three of these here recently and this is the first one to be completely finished. One of the others is Blackwood with stainless fittings and no inlay, and the twin to this one has a Rosewood handle with stainless fittings and Mammoth inlay.
Anyway, this was forged down from 1 inch 5160 and put together in a Take-down assembly with hot blued mild steel hardware.
A really clean piece of African Blackwood was chosen for the handle and given Elephant Ivory escutcheon inlays.
11 3/4" overall length with a 6 1/2" blade.
Perfect balance right at the finger.
Will be available at Blade '08.
Thanks!

That's beautiful, Karl.

I like the blued guard and pommel especially.
