First Knife of 2004.

[B . Buxton]

Well this is the first one finished in 04. The OAL 13 w/ 7 3/4" blade.
The steel is 1532 layers of 1080 & 15n20 with a little 1095 thrown in along the way. The Guard, spacers and pommel are made a billet that contained 2 low layered billets that were reverse twisted and then rewelded. The handle is ebony with over 75 N/S pins each side.

Amazing Bill. I think I'm gonna take up model railroading or something.

It's always a pleasure and inspiration to see your work.

Bill, you just gotta quit that! Every time I see one of your knives, I feel more like a Newbie! Beautiful knife, Bill! Heck of a fine way to start the new year. I have to agree, when one sees that picture, we just want to reach and pick it up! Thanks for posting the knife, too.

holy moses, thanks everyone for the great compliments.They are a super ego booster and make me want to get started on another right away. This knife has great feel and balance and I sure wish my photograpy skills didn't suck so bad. Believe me this pattern looks really cool up close.

Thank You
