Here's one that should make a great Every-Day-Carry Hunter/Utility. You know what I mean.
I forged this blade from a bar I laminated with 203E corrosion resistant steel onto the outside of a piece of 1095 High Carbon tool steel.
The 203E will protect the 1095 core from stain and corrosion except for the exposed working portion of the blade.
The inset photo shows the cool shiny reflection from the iron at the edge of the 203E that I could not get to show in the other photos.
The guard is stainless.
The handle is Stabilized Curly Walnut.
All designed in the Andersen Forge Take-down method.

Little bit O' lightning on that blade. That circle pic shows it well. Really like this one. -Larry
 
Very nice Karl. I love laminated blades like that. Everything is looking good. Plan on testing pretty soon - next year perhaps? I think a blade like that would go over quite nicely.
