Incomplete Frame Handle Fighter

[Karl B. Andersen]

I had this fighter in my hand last night right after sundown and saw a photo opportunity.
I used this in a recent hammer-in demo.
Imagine if you will the guard and frame are mild steel and will get hot-blued gun barrel black.
The blade is a really active 1095/420San Mai affair.
And the scales are off-the-chart Northern California stabilized flame walnut.
I'll be back in a couple days with the finished result.
(I just had some time while drinking coffee here this morning.)

Very Impressive. The Grind on the blade looks perfect. The handle is a thing of beauty. Very Nicely done Sir!

Thanks for sharing,

Now that's a very well crafted knife. Great summary of what it takes to create a flowing work of art!
