Black Ash Burl Hunter

[Karl B. Andersen]

I had a customer from here in Minnesota who wanted a bit of the "Minnesota" theme for a knife.
From right across the river where I live I got a Black Ash burl that resulted in quite a few pieces - so he got one of those.
I didn't get a picture but the finial has a decorative cover of Minnesota Moose antler.
I delivered it to him today and he liked it enough that he ordered three more - one for each of his sons.
And then a San-Mai blade.

Very nice, not hard to see why he ordered three more.

I rehandled my Fallkniven TK-1 with Black Ash Burl and it does realy look nice . I don't have to go to Timbuktu to get nice wood .I do wonder how much damage the Emerald Ash Borer is doing to the Black Ash ??

Your knife is an attention getter with handle to blade contrast !!

I am with you on that! I look at the custom knives at work thread all the time and admire your work there often.
