My 2nd sculpted/carved blade. This is also #2 in the elven, dwarven series I started a few moths ago. This one started on the frame of our RS Model 1. The guard lugs were forged to shape prior to grinding. I wanted a mix of forging, texture..., and high finish in this one. The blade is hand rubbed to 1200 grit. All of the textured areas are blued. The handle material is curly walnut with a sterling silver wire inlay (my first shot at that). Lots of time invested in it but well worth it.

Impressive - I especially like the silver wire inlay. Each time I see a well done example like your work, makes me wish to try that..... One of these days {g}

Thanks Ken! That was my first run at inlay and I was pleased with the way it turned out.
 
you now i like that. one day i will get off my butt and give it a try. Do you use a hard wheel when carving the steel or do you use a sanding wheel ?
 
Interesting knife with the various (for lack of a better word) things going on, interesting and well executed. Dan
