Redwood Burl and Forged W2 with Hamon

[silver_pilate]

This is a little knife I delivered today. I forged it out of Don's W-2 and clay quenched the blade for a hamon. It has a full distal taper and a gently tapered tang and the balance is just right. The handle scales are made from some of Mark's (Burl Source) amazing redwood burl with red spacers and corbys. Unfortunately, I let it go before I took a ruler to it for specs, but it's going tobe similar to my other EDC's at 3.5" blade and around 4" handle. Thanks for looking!

Very nice. The redwood burl and red liners compliments the blade very well. Great job on this piece.

Very fine work. 2thumbs

I also got a chunk of that redwood from Burl Source, but haven't put it on a knife yet. Looks really nice with the red spacers.

If you don't mind, is that redwood burl stabilized? Thanks.

Willhunt, not the redwood isn't stabilized. I filled the checks with CA and then sealed the finished handle with Danish oil.
