Come caress me at 23-Q

[Karl B. Andersen]

Not me! The knife!
You have a dirty mind.
7 & 1/4 inches of Hot-blued, random 1084/15N20 with an unusual amount of chatoyance from the ol' power hammer.
Nuthin' makes nice random better than a lot of hammer work.
Hot-blued take-down mild steel fittings.
Now, that BEAUTIFUL piece of Ironwood has been in my possession for about 49 weeks! It dawned on me yesterday that I bought this piece of material at last year's Blade Show.
I think I put it to good use.
You?
12 3/8" overall.

 

[Jon Brand]

Definately put the wood to good use. This is one of my favorites of yours so far. This knife looks like a workhorse. Will try and caress you (i mean the knife) at the show.

 

[lwrhea]

Just think, my table is right next to his. Better not be too much caressin goin on.

Oh yea, the knife turned out nice! Lin

 

[Kevin Jones]

Really nice Karl.
That's some good lookin ironwood. Kinda two tone.

 

[xaman]

Beautiful piece Karl!

 

[Keith Montgomery]

That blade ended up working out beautifully.

 

[T.K.C.]

Karl, that knife is blow my socks off gorgeous!!

 

[Lorien]

I guess I'm in the 'look but don't touch' club
Oh well, it sure is a nice knife to look at at least
The differentially toned handle and the pattern welded blade look very at home together, holding hands with that blued steel hilt:thumbup:
