Thanks for looking!
 
Very sweet job there Phillip. I love the spacer treatment and the ironwood is beautiful.

Love that long clip and I'll bet that if you worked on the etch just a little longer, that hamon would really "POP".

Where did-ja get the W-2?

Great job and thanks for sharing.

Very beautiful work Phillip::thumbup: The ironwood sets it all off. Thanks for showing it to all of us. Some one told me that knifemakers from Indiana can do good work. I believe them now. :cool:
 
Excellent looking, and I too really like the spacers. Whole knife fits together well and came out great.
 
...so much for sleep for me, tonight! That's sure to keep me awake! Love it!!!

Did you etch that at all, or is the hamon just peeking out through a fine finish?
 
Very nice Phillip!! Your knives always look great, but I really love the way this whole package comes together. Great hamon, handle, spacers.... etc. I'm sure the new owner will be thrilled!
 
Really nice work,Phillip! The ironwood is amazing and the spacers are a nice touch.:thumbup::thumbup:

I etched it three times in a weak ferric solution, then rubbed it with 1000 grit paper. The hamon is actually fairly good, it's my picture taking skills that stink...

Thanks everyone for the kind comments!
