Looks like that integral "bug" done bit me.
Not sure which photo to post so I'll post them both.
I did like the Davy Crockett idea, but the other one shows the knife better.
A really nice piece of Macassar Ebony graces this 5160 integral made with my through-tang construction. This type of threaded tang and nut construction integrates the entire integral blade with the handle material.
I simply find the appearance and feel of these to have a certain grace that I can't ignore.
Thanks for letting me share!

Very slick Karl. I really like the contouring of that handle and the stripey ebony is gorgeous.

sweet! Another beauty knife:)
 
Ditto on the handle contouring...very nice. I like your through-tang construction as well. It's nice to see integrals that don't have scales.

Macassar Ebony is great stuff--good choice.
 
Karl,

This one's just great. I like both integrals you've posted, but the handle on this one really kicks it up.

While I agree with John, I prefer the 52100 steel on the first integral to the less stain resistant 5160.
