Ivory with a Twist!

[Karl B. Andersen]

Last one. Finally.
Fresh out of the hot-bluing tank!
A combo-twist blade of 1095/1084/15N20. This, I twisted in the forge, which adds a really unique "wisp" to the twist than I can duplicate no other way.
PITA.
I hope ya'll can stop by and see what I mean.
Hot-blued mild steel fittings from some chunk of steel I found laying over in the corner left over from making my press! Recycling.
And a kindly ol' walrus left the handle laying around to be picked up later.
Take-down? Darn right.
See ya next week.

Very nice work Karl... Did you dye that handle? if so, what did you use?

 

[Billy Helton]

Very very nice

That's pretty Karl! I always love your dark fittings, they look great next to that ivory.

 

[Karl B. Andersen]

Uh, no. That's Walrus Ivory.

Sorry, I didn't realize walrus tusk was so dark.

A beautiful and rare ivory handled offering from Karl - someone is going to be mighty pleased to take that one home from the show.
