Title: Ceylon hunter
Post by: kbaknife on March 22, 2012, 12:29:00 PM

Now, every so often, I make a knife that I'd just rather not sell, and this is one of them.
In my puny knife maker's mind, this is what I think of when I consider the perfect belt knife.
It all just comes together on this one - for me.
So, I hope you can see a little of the forged in chatoyance in the steel, hot blued Damascus, stainless fittings and a really flawless chunk of Ceylon Ebony for the handle.
Just a sweet knife.
Thanks for letting me share.

I agree Karl.  Excellent in every way.  To me that knife screams use me, don't abuse me, but by all means use me!

Karl- can you explain how the chatoyance is forged in? Is this a byproduct of some damascus forging techniques?
