Koa Hunter with Sunburst Damascus

kbaknife · October 10, 2010, 05:50:00 PM

This knife will become available 22 Oct. at Larry Bailey's Ohio Classic Knife Show.
http://www.ohioknifeshow.com/
It's a 324 layer "Sunburst Random" of 1084 and 15N20.
I hot blued the blade and 1018 steel take-down fittings.
This thing dances all over the room.
One way I photographed it showed the chatoyance in the Stabilized Koa better, and the other way showed the chatoyance in the blade better!
I hope you enjoy going both ways.
