San Mai Hunter

[Karl B. Andersen]

Here's a knife just completed for a good customer.
He chose a San Mai blade, which I made from 416 stainless with a 1095 core.
416 satin guard.
And just a really sweet piece of African Blackwood for the handle. I find the Blackwood with the varying tones of brown striations to be of much higher quality and aesthetic value than all black Blackwood. (It's also harder to come by!)

I hope ya'll enjoy:

that's a great looking knife Karl- the San Mai is amazing and the Blackwood is very nice.

This is just amazingly beautiful. The comination works very well and is complimented by your attention to detail.

Karl, That blade is fantastic and I agree with you on the blackwood. Someone is going to be VERY happy.
