Another Ironwood FBM

[Ban]

very nice. I really like the finish, the swedge, and that handle looks great!

has anyone used that wood on a hard use beater? what results?

I wouldn't worry about Ironwood too much. It is darn strong. To me it seems to be harder to work than micarta. It is a very hard and dense wood.

If that knife had been at the Alamo the Texans would have WON! Beautiful.

Just for the record, what was the original Busse used on this modification? Was it a CGFBM, an LE or FFBM? Fantastic work. Congratulations.

Very nice indeed and +1 for the swedge, it's a killer.

It was a FFBM. My favorite modding platform with the most potential:thumbup:

Marc,

I had a feeling that you would be partial to your Ironwood FBM

The frosty finish is done with buffer and some Scotchbrite after doing the initial grinding up to 220 grit.

It's only a matter of time before I figure out which of my beauties I need to have 'Banned'...nice work as usual.

Ban,
I do like that finish a lot,between this and a satin/mirror finish,which would be more durable and less prone to show scratches?

Wow, I really like that! The frosty finish is sweet and those handles and swedge looks fantastic! I work of art worthy of any Ganza for sure :thumbup:
