Redwood Burl Belt Knife...

[J. Doyle]

I recently finished this utility camp/belt knife and thought I'd post some pics.

Hand forged from 1075 steel
10" overall, 5 1/4" blade, .190" at the ricasso with full distal taper
Twisted fileworked spine
Black g-10 fluted collars
Bronze thorn and vine accents
Stabilized Redwood burl handle

All comments and discussion welcome.

That looks stunning! I love the file work on the spine and the fluted spacers. That's some next level stuff!

I would love a tutorial on the fluted spacers and the twisted file work sometime. I've never seen that type of file work before.

Great hamon! You can't really go wrong w/redwood burl, but it's the collars that really set this piece off. Beauty!
