This was a fun knife for me to do, and has all indications of being a nice user if the new owner so chooses!
Another piece of Stabilized Spalted Maple I got from Peter Martin. The more of this I use, the more I like it!
I hot-blued the mild steel Take-down fittings to match the spalting in the maple.
On the guard and the butt cap, the faceted corners are polished, while the flats are satin finished, as are the file grooves on the spacer, while the outer portions are satin finished.
W1 blade forged down from 1" round stock.
10 3/4" overall with a 6 inch blade!
Available at the Ohio Custom Knife Show!

That is a gorgeous knife, Karl. In all honesty, I don't think I have ever seen anything from you that I just didn't love! Great job!!!
 
Good work, Karl, that's a fine piece of maple and the shape of the handle looks real comfy... :thumbup:
 
Nice blade, fittings and handle - all good from end to end. Love that wood.
