First picture was before I screwed up the chunk of blackwood but gives you an idea what it looked like before I started changing things. New handle is stab. zebrawood. Blade was forged from a piece of Don's W-2 and is 10" long. Wrought iron came from Karl Anderson. Think it was part of an old structure in its first life. Overall the knife is 15 1/2" with a peened threw tang.

I love that knife! It looks like it would be a pleasure to use, and fit peerfectly in the hand. That handle reminds me of the knives that I would find in my Grandfather's tool drawer, and the blade, the blade.....
 
That IS a great looking knife. The handle looks like it would just melt into your hands. You did an awesome, awesome job on that.
 
You have been posting some nice pieces. I really like this one as well.
 
Raymond,
I think this is one of my favorites! There is something about it. :thumbup: Lin
 
Ray!
While I really like the shorter blades you've done, this is one of your finest longer blades! Something about that really grabs my attention! :thumbup:

I'll have a full inventory. I don't do shows with just one or two knives and a photo book. If I remember right my table should be V07. Good looking bald guy with a beard and the Charles Atlas body........ :D
