One I'm taking along to the Janesville Badger show this weekend.
1095 and 416 San Mai blade with a fantastic chunk of Blackwood for the gripper.
Been a long week.
Three Damascus blades to hot blue tomorrow.

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.

Look how even the grind is. The core is centered very nicely. I love the blackwood. It makes me want it Karl. Very nice knife.

Lin, you are correct - I hadn't even noticed until now. Of course, when it's in your hand, only one side at a time can be seen.
Now I see how even it is.
I don't take the credit - the press did it.

Karl, that's simply awesome.  The more I see of blackwood, the more I am becoming a fan of it.  Well done.
cheers, Dale
