W1 Integral/5160 Hunter
« on: July 18, 2008, 07:16:00 PM »
Got two more finished up here today:
First one is a W1 Integral forged from a 7/8" round W1 rod, clay processed heat treatment and a stabilized English Walnut handle.
Second one is a Bakelite Hunter forged from 1" square 5160, using a stainless guard and antique bakelite for the handle.
Both knives are fixed assembly.
Thanks for letting me share, folks!

I really like the blade of the W1 knife.  I assume what I'm seeing is the hamon, thats a wicked one.

Both are great. I like the integral's handle/bolster transition. You just rolled it into the metal. Lin
