Paper Micarta With Handmade Pins

[Von Hagen Knives]

This Flat Grind knife is made from 1/8" 01 Tool Steel Bar Stock. The total length of the knife is 9 1/4". The Blade is 4 1/4". At the widest part, the blade is 1 3/16" wide.

This knife handle is Black Paper Micarta with Red Vulcanized Spacers. The Lanyard has two beads that have been handturned, using the same material as the handle. The two 1/4" Mosaic Pins were handmade, by me. The blade has been patina etched to add dimension.

I do love making knives. It is my passion, my art. Every knife that I make is for sale and it is still a thrill when each of them sell!!

Thanks for looking,
Rick

I just finished a knife that I forged from O1 and I left it in a hammer or forge finish. I really like the finish on your knife. How did you do that if you don't mind me asking?

I really like that!

This knife has a very pleasing appearance. It has a nice shape and I really like the blade finish.

S, 69 and Keith, Thank you for the nice comments.
Sph, The short answer is a mustard patina. If you'd like, you can send me your e-mail and I'll send you the more, longer answer. I'll be happy to share, it's just kind of tedious to post the whole thing here.
