If I had a vote, I say it was your best yet Nathan. Looks heavy duty. I love the wood....how about some specs?

 

[Nathan House]

Peter,thanks
it is 3/16 D2 Hand rubbed satin finish
8 3/4 OVAL
Double Dyed Box Elder Burl

 

[Terry_Dodson]

Very Nice. Did you use a spacer between the wood and the steel? It kinda looks like i can sorta see one, but maybe not. Why did you pick D2 for the blade? Is D2 a REAL Knife steel?

just pickin you know

edit: also what kind of finish is on the wood?

 

[Nathan House]

Terry,yes there is a black spacer,D2 is a real knife steel IMO one tried and true steels,it has been around along time,with the right Heat Treat it will hold it own agaist some of the new steels,D2 is my steel of choice I like tool steel,holds a wicked edge

The handle I worked down to a 600 grit and then buffed with white diamond
compound with sewn muslin buff.

Very cool Nathan. Another kick a** knife. I like the sharp, straight forward "point" (top line) of this one. Great work.

 

[John Andrews]

I have to agree, that's nice, Nate. I like the properties of D2, also.

Damn Nathan, Very nice. I think this is top notch work my friend. I like the shape and user friendly size. Have you sold this one or is this all yours? I'd be tempted to hang on to this one

 

[Nathan House]

Thanks,No this one is sold,I still have enough wood to make another one with
this type of wood,

Scott, I spoke with Ted he and his wife are super people,I won't be able to make it this year,I am working on several differnt models of knives and building a web page.If all goes right with the money I am going to try to make it to the Blade in June.

I have my name on the list for a table,So I am going to be hard at it after Christmas

 

[Will52100]

Definatly love the wood, and the overall shape/style should make for a very tough knife. Looks like you could punch through a steel fire door with that!

 

[ddavelarsen]
