Laminated Ceylon Ebony Fighter

Karl B. Andersen · Mar 9, 2011

Here's a Fighter I just finished up for the Janesville "Badger" Show in a few weeks.
The blade was forged from a laminated billet of 1095 and 203E, etched to show the lamination.
The take-down assembly is created with stainless steel hardware and flawless piece of Ceylon Ebony.
I think she's gonna look pretty up in Wisconsin!

Hi Karl!

A really nice color combination, the ebony handle and guard set is a beautiful balance to the blade. Your work, especially over the last couple of years has been a pleasure to view.:thumbup:

I really like the looks of the 203E. It adds a great look to the knife. Beautiful job!
