Title: Twisted Stag
Post by: kbaknife on May 16, 2011, 12:02:00 PM

One for the upcoming Blade Show in Atlanta:

A high layer Twist blade in a fixed assembly with crushed Ws fittings and a stag handle.
Everything hot-blued.
"Bolted" together internally.
This offered a couple challenges for me. Some folks may not like it much as it weighs about 11 pounds!

That was a joke.
Just that with the stag, the internal steel parts, butt cap and epoxy, she's a handful.

You did great job matching that stag to the knife Karl. The filing around the butt cap is a nice touch.

Sure looks good to me. You did a great job of making the transition between the blade and the guard look seamless, even with the Damascus pattern.

I like to keep my knives below 10 pounds though.   :D
