Title: San Mai Hunter
Post by: kbaknife on October 07, 2012, 02:03:00 PM
Here's a knife just completed for a good customer.
He chose a San Mai blade, which I made from 416 stainless with a 1095 core.
416 satin guard.
And just a really sweet piece of African Blackwood for the handle. I find the Blackwood with the varying tones of brown striations to be of much higher quality and aesthetic value than all black Blackwood. (It's also harder to come by!)

I hope ya'll enjoy:

Very nice. Handle and fittings nicely balance the high contrast blades.

Man,
I've looked at it like 50 times now. That is amazing. I bet I'd cut myself within 4 seconds of fondling it.
