Here's a knife just completed for a good customer.
He chose a San Mai blade, which I made from 416 stainless with a 1095 core.
416 satin guard.
And just a really sweet piece of African Blackwood for the handle. I find the Blackwood with the varying tones of brown striations to be of much higher quality and aesthetic value than all black Blackwood. (It's also harder to come by!)

I hope ya'll enjoy:

Great looking knife Karl.
I am really fond of your laminated blades. The pattern in this one looks great.
I also agree with you about the Blackwood. Seems like the stuff with colors will also show a nice flash sometimes.

Very nice Karl. Must be nice, blade making in the mornings with walleye and smallie fishing in the afternoons. Best of both worlds.

Not too bad, Bill.
I've been catching Northern in the river behind the house on my afternoon breaks!
Good eatin' as walleye.
