I really don't know how many of these I have made, but as long as good people keep ordering them, I'll keep making them - right?
Anyway, every now and then a combination of materials comes along that really gets my attention, and that's what happened here.
I really like the way the stainless sets off both the African Blackwood and the chatoyance in the hot-blued blade.
The blade is a lower count than I normally make - 324 - but I feel it suits this knife quite well. (I normally bump the 400 layer count)
I hope ya'll enjoy it as well as I did.



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.

What would you attempt to do, if you knew you could not fail?


Never leave the one you love, for the one you like.

Very nice Karl.  I think the lower count damascus looks great, as well as the blackwood (that's very nicely figured).

Karl, Dan beat me to it with his comments!  I also like the damascus and the blackwood is the nicest I have ever seen!

You always create a great knife!

I also like the look of the lower count, wonder if it is something to do with the match to the blackwood grain.  As others have said that is a very nice example of blackwood.

Again, all I can say is WOW Karl.

I am proud to own it and I thank you for making it for me. It turned out just perfect.
