Just finished this one up, i have been drying the desert ironwood burl since April 2012 and figured it was about time to try it out.


The steel is 1075 3/16" thick
differentially heat treated, lightly etched to reveal the hamon (which i couldnt get to show up in the pics, cause im a crappy photographer)
Blade length is just under 5" with an overall length of 9 3/4"
The guard is 1075 and copper.
Handle is ironwood burl i have been storing in a sawdust filled rubber-made tote for close to 3 years now.


Good or bad let me know what ya think, i know there is always room for improvement.

Glad ya like the spacer, I was unsure about it after the wife said it was the only thing she didnt like about the knife. Borrow all ya want, lord knows i've used more than a few design ideas.
 
I like the knife. Nice and clean and the spacer adds to the package. The only thing that knife is missing is your mark.
 
Thanks for the compliments everyone. I was holding off on the makers mark for now, I use an etch-o-matic I am thinking of getting a stencil made up so I don't have to keep using that 50's typewriter anymore
