I really don't know how many of these I have made, but as long as good people keep ordering them, I'll keep making them - right?
Anyway, every now and then a combination of materials comes along that really gets my attention, and that's what happened here.
I really like the way the stainless sets off both the African Blackwood and the chatoyance in the hot-blued blade.
The blade is a lower count than I normally make - 324 - but I feel it suits this knife quite well. (I normally bump the 400 layer count)
I hope ya'll enjoy it as well as I did.

Nice work, Karl, I like the way all the design elements came together on this one... :thumbup:
 
Anyone else having trouble with the pics?..

Nevermind, now they work...

That's a great looking piece.

fantastic. Love all the contrastyness, and proportionately she is a beauty.
 
Cool little knife! I really like the fit-up with the handle and guard, leaving it just a touch proud, nice touch.
