RWL, giraffbone, ebony and bronze.

[Magnus Axelson]

My first hollowground blade ever.
I found it quite hard to put a hand rubbed finish on the blade and still maintain the crisp grindlines.

Anyway, the blade is made of RWL steel and is filworked along the spine.
I used bronze liners, stabilized giraffbone scales and ebony bolsters for the handle. All held together with filworked torx screws.

The knife has been done for quite a while, just got around to finish the sheath yesterday.
After some experimenting I managed to get the right shade of grey I wanted for the sheath.
Diluted black dye in many many layers did the trick.
Detail in pewter and bronze.

Any and all comments are welcome.

Thanks for looking.


Regards

Very nicely done. It's a little different than my normal taste, but I like it.
Very stylish, well executed, nice use of materials and the sheath makes a superb overall package. :thumbup::thumbup:

That's a rich knife. Very attentive to all aspects. Giraffe bone generally gets no respect, but this one can't dominate, so it looks great.

Congrats on such nice grinds for your first HG blade.
