Crotch "Feathered" Hunter

[Karl B. Andersen]

Sounds kinky - doesn't it?
I've had this piece of crotch walnut for longer than I can remember. It's been a few years since I found it in a fire wood pile. Had it hanging by a string in my shop ceiling for some time and then had it stabilized last year.
Got the "Feather" to run right down the middle of this hunter handle.
It's 324 layers of hot-blued chatoyant Damascus and stainless steel take-down fittings.

Available next week at the Janesville, Wisconsin Badger Knife Club Show.

Terrific work, Karl, I like how you got the handle to look "bookmatched" even though it's one solid piece. It's not often the grain runs that consistently through the whole width of the blank. Gorgeous etch on the steel, and your signature bolster, too!

 

[Mike Craddock]

Very nice work Karl. I also like how that feather runs through both sides.

Nothing like feathered crotch in the morning to wake a man up!

Well said!

Great job Karl. You've been pumping those things out like a man on a mission. They all look super crisp and clean.:thumbup:

Nice chunk of wood there - nice knife too. And, yes, DAVE LISCH, I'll get your little thingy stabilized. Sheesh.
