Forged finish W2/Spalted Maple Burl

[Tad Lynch]

Hi guys,
The knife is 9.5 inches w2 and 5 inch stabilized maple burl/416 ss. I call it my Turkey Mountain Bowie...done more of these/variations of these than anything over the last 6 yrs.

Blade is left "as forged" on spine and bottom of ricasso.

Trying out a convertible sheath using a large tek lok. I prefer IWB, but some like the knife on a belt. This mounts on a belt very firmly, and gives you an option.

Critiques are welcome.

Love it. That Maple Burl is striking. How thick is the blade at the spine?

 

[Lorien]

That's a beauty Tad - great design and gorgeous wood. These knives pack a punch.

That is a great looking knife, but then I like all your work.

What do you charge for this?

It is one that looks like it should win a cutting contest. The contrasts in finishes on the blade is great. And that handle, wow!

Well done. Mighty nice Tad.
