The Dark Side

[BenR.T.]

I am calling this one the "Dark Fighter". This is my first attempt at a blue/bleach antique finish,
and I think it came out nicely. The wood is Bocote, but is mostly black, which compliments the blade I think.
It is 11" OAL and is quite light and fast in the hand. The steel is .125" L6. (It still needs sharpened)
Let me know what you think.

Wow! Ben, that is one nasty looking blade buddy! The profile is radical and your blade finish turned out pretty cool.

I like it!

Its does have that "Stab me and wriggle it about" look.

 

[BenR.T.]

Thanks guys, it does have that "bad guy" look to it!

[Kevin Jones]

Very nice, especially fond of the overall profile. Don't care for the blade finish though.

 

[BenR.T.]

Thanks for the kind words guys, I try and impart as much "flow" as I can in my knives, this one I think I actually achieved that.

Agreed, and it's not always easy to successfully mix widely differing design patterns, including the contrast between the blade finish and the super clean handle work.

looks scary

That is a beauty. I love the blade finish.

That is a very nice looking blade sir. The wood/finsh combo adds a bit of mystique to it if I should say.
