Title: Carbon Ironwood and Mokume Hunter
Post by: skullworks on January 05, 2009, 09:36:00 AM

Here is a knife made with a Gene Martin carbon blade. Ironwood scales with mokume guards. Mosaic pins in the handle with a brass lanyard tube and nickel silver pins in the mokume. Blade is 4-3/8" and 9" OAL. This one fought me all the way. The scales started out as bookmatched but I didn't sand from the inside of the scales and lost the figure on one side.(DUH!) Ended up with a little epoxy showing between the guard and scales on one side(DUHx2!) Turned out pretty nice anyways. Enjoy!
