Ironwood and Damascus for Atlanta

[Karl B. Andersen]

7 & 1/4 inches of random 1084/15N20 with an unusual amount of chatoyance from the ol' power hammer.
Nuthin' makes nice random better than a lot of hammer work.
Hot-blued take-down mild steel fittings.
Now, that BEAUTIFUL piece of Ironwood has been in my possession for about 49 weeks! It dawned on me yesterday that I bought this piece of material at last year's Blade Show.
I think I put it to good use.
You?
12 3/8" overall.

Now that's just pretty, Karl. There isn't an aspect of it I don't like.

That is an outstanding knife! Great job.:thumbup::thumbup:

 

[Burton Harruff]

Very nice combo.

Looks great maintaining a generous amount of steel towards the end.

 

[Dan Pierson]

I like that a lot. Wish I could see the steel in person -- looks good in the pictures but your description sounds like there's a lot more beauty in person.
