English walnut

[Von Hagen Knives]

This Knife Style #78 is ground from 1/8" thick 01 TOOL STEEL bar stock. The FULL TAPERED TANG knife is 7 1/4" long with a 3 ½" cutting edge. At its widest part (at the belly), the blade is 1 1/4". The handle is ENGLISH WALNUT. This knife also has a BLACK VULCANIZED SPACER and a 1/4" micarta brass tube. The lanyard has two beads handturned from the same English Walnut as the handle. One more feature on this handle is the two (2) 7/32" MOSAIC PINS. These pins have been handmade, by me.

Thanks for looking. I do love making knives. It is my passion, my art. Every knife that I make is for sale and it is still a thrill when each of them sell!!

Looks great. That walnut has a very rich, dark colour.

Interesting blade finish. How did you get that effect?

Keith, Thanks again for your nice response. I ALMOST didn't want to use this wood on the knife --- wanted to keep it for myself!!

cablemonkey, The finish is a mustard patina.

Thanks for looking,
Rick
