Got a cool camp knife with hamon to show everyone

[PaulDiStefano]

Hey everyone, I made a camp knife in W2. I've come to really love making camp/chopping knives. Burt Foster is one of my favorite bladesmiths because I think he makes some damn cool camp knives.

For some reason the hamon traveled down the blade on this one and got close to the edge. Because of this a lot of the cool ashi and wispy stuff kind of got taken over. The edge still hardened so I guess its okay. The hamon kind of looks like a leaf or maybe an insect wing of some sort.
I know a lot of people aren't crazy about dyed handles but I really love a green/teal burl handle.
I'll throw this up in the for sale section soon in case anyone is interested let me know.

Also I have no idea how to make my website come up under my posts. Lol if anyone could clue me in it would be greatly appreciated I really suck with computers

10.25 inch blade
16.25 inch overall
Stainless bolsters
maple burl scales

hello, nice job. somewhere in your profile settings will be an "add signature" ( i think thats what its called, its been so long, and i have not done any profile stuff since the new format) selection, whatever you put in there should show up on the bottom of your posts.

Thanks grant and john.
I'll check out the add signature and see if it works.
