San Mai Hunter

[kbaknife]

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:

Those Stainless San Mai blades are just awesome.  Great looking knife

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

Very beautiful knife!  Just looking at it really makes me want to hold it.

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.
