This knife was in my head for at least four months before I got it out <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//smile.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> The blade is Aldo's W2, stock removal, clay quenched with a hamon. The fittings are mild steel, fluted and browned, with a few stainless spacers for "pop." The handle is a nice piece of fossil oosic that I got from the estate of a local knifemaker. Construction is sort of a glued-up takedown, with a bit of filework on the butt and a turned finial. There are 14 total pieces. Overall length is right at 10 inches including the finial. My camera took a dive, so I shot a little video instead. I haven't decided what to do for the sheath yet, and I may send it off to Coop for his magic as well.
that's very nice, Jason. Really like the oosic and plum brown- the way they compliment each other is very effective.
It turned out very nice Jason.
Got my picture back from Cory Martin. Too big to post here, but here's the link.
