This knife I was making for a friend but he really liked the corduroy handle knife, so I gave him that one. I finished this blade up just in time to make a rawhide sheath as practice for the one posted previously. It came out good so I carried it for a while. Then at The Pie Festival this past September I remembered that I had promised my friend Walker a knife a long time ago. so i passed this one on to him, and it now resides in Sweden.
The blade is ground out of an old file, and I clay heat treated it to get the hamon line. Which i might add, came out really nice. The handle is some wood that a friend of mine got at a garage sale from a violin maker, so I am not sure exactly what it is, but it is hard and beautiful.
