This is one just finished for a customer in North Carolina, thanks Tom. This one is 1084 and 15n20 damascus. The pattern was made by pressing S dies into a lower layer count W's pattern and then the highs ground off then forged out to shape. The handle is Ambrosia Maple cut on the end grain that is very appealing. The spacer is Black Ash burl and black g10. The guard is forged to shape 416 stainless silver. The top clip is hand sanded down to a zero edge and very sharp as it is. The sheath is 8-9oz. Wickett & Craig leather made by me. I forged a similar shaped blade at the same time as this one that should be finished soon. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks for looking. -Burton Harruff

Great looking Fighter and sheath...both are very nice.

I enjoy the similar piece I got from you last year. :cool:
 
Thanks gentlemen I appreciate the kind words.

Dawkind, Tom saw your knife and wanted a similar blade:)

Kevin, the knife is 10" with a 5.375" blade.

This blade shape has people either loving or hating it with strong feelings from both sides. This was made to the customers specs. He wanted something to carry for self defense and he is very happy with it. I find it very nice for the intended purpose. Thanks for checking it out. -Burton
 
Burton- You are really coming into your own. Your styling and fit and finish have REALLY developed.

I think aesthetically the blade shape wants to be like 10" long... but since you made it to a customer's specs and he/she is happy, I'd say it's just right. :)

Great work Burton! :)
 
Burton, excelled yourself yet again. I love the shape of the blade and got to agree with Nick 10" blade would look real cool.

Nice leatherwork too!!
