Finished Blade

[Karl B. Andersen]

I know for the most part we try to focus on fully finished knives here, but I just completed the work on a selectively hardened blade that I am truly liking! (You'll need to excuse that little piece of "stuff" in that one thumbnail photo above my name! I didn't see it.)
I got some really nice activity in the transition areas and really, really finely grained steel in the hardened area. I haven't sharpened it up yet, but all signs point to a really nice take-down hunter for one of my customers!
At least in mind, I hope that you folks on this forum won't mind seeing what goes into the finished product and sharing in the Maker's pride.

Good lookin blade Karl, looks like a nice etched finish on that one.

Yep, very nice transition and pattern.
