Rados Damascus and Wrought Iron

[Karl B. Andersen]

I wanted to post this now before I hot-blue the blade tomorrow. My photographic skills and/or equipment just can't capture the beauty of Jerry Rados Damascus like it deserves.
This is a 9 inch Bowie blade I forged from a bar of Rados Single-twist Damascus of W2 and 203E.
The handle is a nice piece of Desert Ironwood stabilized by WSSI.
The fittings are wrought iron - deeply etched. (The finial is stainless)
My regular take-down configuration.
A fun way to start off the New Year!

I really like this knife. It is quite different than what I normally see from you. It's great see variety.
