Blackwood Utility

[Karl B. Andersen]

5160 Blade forged from 1" heavy stock.
Contoured African Blackwood handle.
I did my full etch, as usual, to reveal nature of the heat treatment, and then took it to an 800 hand-rubbed finish.

Classic and elegant. Love it!

Fine looking knife! I've been rediscovering blackwood for the last couple knives. It really is some fine looking wood especially when sanded down with the really fine grits.
