Desert Ironwood and O1

[BrandantR]

This was a slight departure from the normal folders that I love making, but it was quite an enjoyable change of pace. The specs are: 5 inch O1 blade with twisted ribbon filework, dovetailed 416 bolsters, desert ironwood scales, stainless lanyard tube, and stainless mosaic pins. Let me know what you think.

Yes, love that desert ironwood. A very "sharp" looking knife in all respects.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. The knife's new owner was very pleased to receive it. Honestly, it was hard to let this one go. On to the next.

Brandant, sorry for calling you John. I guess you just chalk that one up to an ole coot's brain fart!! Still like the knife though!!!

 

[John Wilson]

Every bit as gorgeous as your folders! I can't help but see your signature style in everything you make. The shape of the point, the gentle curve of the spine- it is immediately identifiable to me as one of yours. Beautiful!

Thanks again everyone! It really was a fun knife to build. It was also the first time I've used desert ironwood. I enjoyed working with it and it finished out absolutely gorgeous. I'll be using it again for sure.
