Something a customer had me put together, and I'm glad he did!
I had not made one of my Lazy "S" guards in over a year, and the hot bluing really helped to set off the black lines in the Ironwood handle and the black halos around the hamon in the W2.
I also liked how I managed to sneak in some of those "ghosts" in the hamon - I love those.
Anyway, she's sporting a 10 1/8" blade and 15 3/8" overall of Take-down Goodness.
Thanks for letting me share.

That knife kicks butt. Cool guard, crazy hamon - it all works for me.

That is something! Love its blade profile, love the ironwood, and that is quite the hamon. :)
 
Karl,

FINE Lil' Ironwood Bowie!

You're sure right about the bluing picking up the Ironwood lines.

Love that blade shape, and the hamon's just a beauty.

Karl, probably my favorite of yours to date..........really well done all the way around.
 
That is my favorite one of yours so far Karl! The subtle s guard, and the curvier handle just put it over the top. :thumbup:
 
Great hamon. great handle, shape and ironwood. I like the the shape of the blade too. It was nice talking to you at Janesville!
 
That knife is amazing. I love that hamon, I have been trying to get one like that for years. Great knife all around.
 
Karl, I can't tell you how pleased I am with the results you achieved with this Bowie! You totally nailed it. I can't wait to get this in hand. Thanks again for making the Bowie I've always wanted.
