Iron Wood FBM

LOL....geez Ban, bro you got a serious talent going on here!:thumbup:

Those slabs are freaking beautiful man. Damn! Right on.:cool:
 
It's a beauty.

It shaves really well, hairs leapt of my arm like lemmings.

It even splits hairs.

I'm jealous but I've got an FFBM in line.
 
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

WOW you're getting good at this:thumbup: :p




Just got done with this one about 1hr ago. First time trying out this desert iron wood and man is it tough stuff. Now I know why they call it iron wood This stuff is harder to grind than Micarta!

This bad girl sports a flat/convex grind with a zero edge. Even the large top swedge is sharpened. Lately I have been spending lots of time polishing out the edges and boy are they Sharp! Too bad my lighting is not good enough to capture the contrast. The demarcation between the polished edge and the satin blade gives it a very subtle almost hamon like look.
