Really different piece. So many different things going on it really comes together very cool. Love The habaki the hamon and the neat dick filed stud. way cool piece congrats.
 
Very impressive piece - I really like it. Definitely not traditional and definitely cool. Awesome hunk of ivory for the handle and I really like the treatment of the guard and ferrule.

Interesting comment..
I will say this the handle swells outward in the full size pic that creates a wavy illusion ..reinforced by the gentle recurve..

That Ivory is a six inch handfull
 
It looks wild and it's a beauty :thumbup:

Thanks for showing it :cool:
 
I do like the materials used, and I do respect the craftmanship that went in to this knife, but for me it's an ugly knife. Well actually it's the point that I don't like, that extreme clip point doesn't do it for me.

Now that is manly! And Anders makes them that way. Very unique blade design, but you won't find him following a traditional design closely. I have always liked Anders work, and this one has to feel great in the hand. His ivory handles and cast fittings are always a treat, and the Invalidator is no exception.
Very impressive, Riad. Thanks for sharing!
