Post by: Kevin Evans on August 16, 2008, 03:35:00 PM
Just finished this one this morning,kinda changed handle style on this one.Not sure I like this style,but really feels good in my hand.Still trying to get more scratches out!!!
Forged from 15n20 and 1084 (pretty tight)
5.5" blade 4.5" handle 10"oa
N/S pins and guard (wanted smaller pins ,but I kept messing up hole while drilling)
Ambuyma burl wood (http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/coonpeter/Augest15th002.jpg) (http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/coonpeter/Augest15th001.jpg) (http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/coonpeter/Augest15th004.jpg) (http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/coonpeter/Augest15th005.jpg)

very nice. That amboyna has some figuring to it, doesnt it?  I soaked some in tung oil linseed oil 50/50 and it really got cherry colored.

Very nice work.
