Greetings All:
Awhile back a client sent me this piece of fossilized walrus ivory and asked me to build him a knife around it - he selected a Hunter/Utility style blade with a hamon and a Loveless style sheath. When I received the ivory I had all these plans for coined/fullered spacers, S-quard, inlaid butt cap, etc, etc, etc. But I came to the conclusion with the hamon and all the great handle coloration of blues, tans, blacks, and browns, that "less is more." Here's what I came up with.....my first walrus ivory hidden tang knife. All comments welcome.
.250 1095 stock
HT to Rc 60-61
10 OAL
5 Flat ground blade
Almost sharp swedge
Vivid hamon
Rounded spine and ricasso
Thumb serrations on spine
Black G-10/stainless spacers
Pinned stainless butt cap
Soldered stainless guard
RH Loveless style sheath
