Steingass Stiff Horn

[TK Steingass]

Gentlemen:

This is my first Loveless inspired Stiff Horn in W-2/Sheep Horn. This model differs from the original in material selection (W-2) and the checkering crosses the full width of the bolsters. The bolsters are pinned and full soldered and it's the same size as the original. The hollow ground blade was hand rubbed to 1200 grit and lightly etched to reveal a vivid hamon line. This knife will come with a Loveless style pocket sheath. Thanks for viewing my work and your comments are welcome.

V/R,

TK
