Ironwood EDC

[silver_pilate]

This knife went out to Michael in California a while back. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to snap pictures of the finished product, but these are very close to the finished result. I hadn't etched my mark yet, and the blade is a bit dirty; you'll notice some smudges. Sorry about that.

The blade is a full flat grind EDC of CPM154 with a 600 grit hand rubbed finish. Handle scales are exhibition grade Ironwood burl with black spacers and are hand worked to 2000 grit. The scales look even better in person.

This knife got a leather sheath with spring clip that turned out to be the best one I've made (thanks to the great Wild Rose sheath video I got for Christmas ). Michael seems to be pleased with it, so I'm a happy maker.

These pictures don't really do the finished knife justice, but I wanted to show off that great ironwood, and these were the only pictures I had. Thanks for looking!

That seems to be the perfect handle material for this design. I think it looks great.

Thanks, Keith. I've come to respect your opinion on knives over the years, and I agree that ironwood works very well for this design. It's become one of my favorite materials to work with.
