Spalted W2?
Not really. But you know me.
The idea we had was to make my customer a personal carry "Bowie" that he could carry in his home state and be legal at under 5 1/2". He liked the Spalted Maple and then I talked him into some W2 with this result in mind. I wanted the black lines induced around the hamon to "dance" with the spalting in the maple. I even got some nice hamon display on the spine. 416 Stainless take-down assembly. Perfect balance on this knife and should offer him many years of service. Hope you guys enjoy! __________________ Blade Show Table 8-Q What do you do when you see your ex in pain, limping and bleeding? Relax. Take a deep breath.

Sweet!
Hi Karl,
What a beautiful combo! If you don't mind me asking (since I love fiddlin' with W-2 and hamons) what do you use for your clay and how do you apply it? Dana |

Thanks Karl!
I use satanite too but never tried the solder brush trick. I've always used a popcicle stick and it's
difficult to apply it thinly. Mine always goes on rather thick and clunky. Thanks, again, for the tip, Karl! Dana |

Karl, This little bowie is sweet. I use a lot of spalted maple. This looks like you had a lot of fun building.
BTW It was nice visiting with you at Blade. Thanks for sharing __________________ Bruce Bingenheimer MLazyB Custom Knives ABS Journeyman Smith |
