Koa, W-2, and a huge Paul Long Sheath

[John White]

So, for the past couple months been trying to finish up some fairly complex projects in time for delivery at Blade. Buddy took two fantastic pics of a side-shell Hunting Dagger that'll be in Atlanta, and another project is at Joe Mason's being engraved. Hopefully, it'll be on the table, too.

I've taken a couple days off from yet another dagger, to fit out this 10 inch, stabilized Koa handled Camp Knife. It has S/S fittings, and a huge, beautiful Paul Long sheath.

I'll be at Table 3-Q at Blade. Come on by. It'll be Show and Tell time in Atlanta.

Let's call this one "Buffalo stampede."

See ya'll there.

Another killer John, no pun intended. Love the hamon and I'm starting to like Koa more and more.

Man o Man... John this is fantastic.. There's a real sense of power in the blade and the handle is typically gorgeous.

Paul, you continue to amaze me. Just when I see perfect you put out something so clean and controlled. I like the shape of the keeper strap.

 

[EScott]

Killer hamon. I love the double pins. See you at blade.

 

[Wulf]

That's great John! Looks like quite an effective cutter. I see the buffalo stampede in the hamon but what is it they're chasing?

 

[D lisch]

Thats nice John the Hamon dose look a little like a Buffalo stampede." but I think it looks like clouds on a clear day that look like a Buffalo stampede."

 

[SBranson]

Duh,, I just saw the buffalos in the hamon... very cool.

That's real pretty John. I like what you did with the subtle sculpting on the handle, I bet it feels great.

That is a hugely awesome big cutter John. Nicely contoured handle of gorgeous Koa compliments the broad blade well, with some Paul Long icing on top. Great package.

I see a wolf barking at 2 bears.
Great looking knife!
Each time I go back and look at the photos I notice something else.
I really like the shaping of the handle, the domed pins and the way the handle is slightly proud of the spacer behind the guard.

 

[John White]

Glad you guys like this one. Just managed to get it to Paul and back in time for Blade.

Mark, you ought to recognize that Koa. I shoulda noted it came from our very own Burl Source!
