I just love using this end-grain spalted maple!
Once it is stabilized it just turns into a solid piece of plastic.
The mild steel take-down fittings were hot blued and the W2 blade was clayed for a nice hamon.
(Will be on my table in Atlanta)
8 1/8" blade and 13 1/4" overall.
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.
