W1 and Sheoak Bowie

[Karl B. Andersen]

A piece of stabilized Sheoak I got at this year's Blade Show.
The clipped and clay quenched 8 1/4" W1 blade was forged down from a 1 1/8" round bar of W1 drill stock.
Take-down stainless fittings are faceted and selectively polished.
13 1/2" overall.
Thanks for letting me share!
I'll be taking this along to http://www.americanbladesmith.com/MidAmerica08.htm.

That one turned out real nice. Great hamon. I am going to get over at least on Saturday I will have to check it out.
