Here's another 'Equinox' fighter...1075, double-edge, stainless fittings, ironwood handle, and David Seward sheath w/ostrich overlay. I reckon I'm gonna have to do like John White with his dogbones...start a campaign to put one of these fighters on every belt in the USA.;) Hopefully y'all won't get sick of looking at these 'cause there's more to come:eek: Thanks for lookin', comments welcome.

Wow Ben. Knife and sheath both look great! I won't get tired of looking at them for sure. That is a mean looking fighter. Really nice ironwood too.
 
That's really nice, Ben. Truly.

Now get back out in the shop and start another. There's a lot of belts out there...

The whole package is top notch, as are all of your knives. That piece of ironwood is particularly beautiful.

That's a slick sticker! The sheath looks fantastic as well. :thumbup:
 
Thanks, y'all. I like that ironwood too. It was a unique piece that I thought the grain could be made to work into the flow of the knife. I also tried to make the grind lines on the handle crisp, which I think adds another aspect to the flow...not that it hasn't been done before just something I'm trying. Thanks again for the comments.
 
Looks great Ben. I like the direction your going with the handles. The blade profile looks a bit different than some of the earlier ones. It looks more aggressive. Is that my imagination? David's sheath looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Great knife and sheath! Good to see more familial teamwork in the knife business.I understand what you were trying to do with the more defined edges on the handle, but I think something a little "rounder/softer" would look just as good and feel better in the hand.

I think it's a combination of the handle and a slightly higher clip. You got me curious so I went back and looked at the previous knives...I'll E-mail you the pics and you can tell me what you think.
