Well I had started this as a WIP and it was going to be a Norse Sax but I ended up starting another billet for that blade and decided to finish this one a camp knife. The spine is 4 bars of wrought iron of two different phosphorus contents that were welded and twisted and then welded onto a bar of W2. The blade is 9.5" inches and an OAL of 15.5". Copper ferrule with file work, red spacer and Itsa Burl claro walnut. Spine is 3/16" at the ferrule with distal taper.

oh my, that's quite nice I rather like it.
 
I love opening your threads and again I am thrilled at what I see. Love the style and the execution. And the photography too.
I really like how slim you tapered the handle at the guard. That's a beautiful angle.
 
Very nice, I see a pw seax in your future!
 
Thanks folks!

Yes indeed Ben...

Thanks for the nice comment Stuart...

I'm going to try to get a better photograph of the wrought texturing on this... it much nicer in real life. I will probably be carrying it around at Blade.. so wave me down for a look.
