1095, copper and wood

[Tai Goo]

A little of this and a little of that.

I love it, but I have always liked your work for being different.

 

[Frank Niro]

I too have always enjoyed the work of yours I have seen.
It must be the picture because the connection between the blade and tang seems foreign to this beauty. Frank

Awesome, love everything about it.:thumbup:

 

[Dan Pierson]

I like it! It appeals to me a lot more than the ring knives you've
been making with the same sort of ferule.

Sweeeet!!!!:thumbup:

 

[Tai Goo]

Thanks guys!

Here’s a couple closer shots of the pommele sapele handle and copper fittings.

Ita, After seeing the first photo I was thinking you doomed the fitting but couldn't tell for sure. Thanks for the close ups. I like the direction you are taking.

 

[Tai Goo]

Thanks Yar,

That little spot was tricky for me to get,... not the kind of ricasso I'm used to. I used a radius at the blade to tang transition area, then fit the ferrule up with needle files and some planishing.

In the right light, that pommele sapele really pops!

 

[Railrider1920]

That is something else Tai Goo.

Sweet! I really enjoy your "jewelry" making style knives. That little necker pokidoshi (?) piece still haunts my dreams.
