Something different for me-Forged fighter
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My wife and I bought our first home about a month ago and this is the first knife that I have been able to get done since the move. I still have to move my shop before winter!
Knife Name Desert Ironwood Fighter
Category Fixed, Bowies
Full Length 11 inches
Blade Length 6-1/2 inches
Blade Material Forged to shape 1095
Handle Material presentation grade Desert Ironwood
Bolsters/Guard 415 Stainless Steel
Completion Date 10/16/2004
I make very few fixed blades these days so this was a nice change of pace. The desert ironwood on this knife is awesome. It has a lot of figuring not visible in the photo. Differentially tempered blade with great temperline and shadow. Guard was mirror polished and acid etched to match the etched appearance of the blade.
