oops, no longer available, thanks for looking.......
 
Beautiful lines Frank!

I really like the carved sweep in the handle...really adds a lot of character.

But where do you buy this, "arn'wood" ???? :p

I've made about three guards out of copper and always ended up getting rid of them. I need to keep an eye o knives like this one and then I would KEEP the copper. I don't know about you, but I actually find it harded to work being soft, because it's SOO soft.

Beautiful finish on that handle too Frank! :)

damn that's a beautiful knife. Love the hamon action and I'm a sucker for a subhilt.
 
thanks guy's, appreciate the comments..
Nick, my Dad before me and then me following, were both union ironworker's for most of our lives....when I was a kid, a lot of my dad's workin' buddies were at the house, most of them country boy's who drawled "arn'worker"....this always stuck in my head, hence the "Arn'wood" derivation.....

as to the copper, you're right, I had to change my tactics to work it properly & get a great polish because it is a little softer than nickel-silver, stainless or brass.....but it grabs my attention from across the room.....:D
 
thanks guys, appreciate the support from knowledgeable knife persons....
 
That sub-hilt figher is what could be described in some quarters as "King of the hill!"
