Tres Amigos

[kbaknife]

I got invited to show at a Safari Club International banquet and made these up so I could get some new entry-level customers.
Some of the same stabilized spalted maple I've used in the recent past, but I also sent some Osage out to be stabilized that I acquired about 10 years ago that was cut down in '64. I've got 8 logs of it.
To be honest, I like it the best of the three.
Osage, even though rather plain-grained, always manifests a mellow richness that I admire not only in bows, but in knives as well.
Blades were forged from 52100 round stock.
Somethin' a little different.

Pretty cool!    
You are not running low on osage I've got plenty that is 30 or 40 years old and has some character if you can saw it.LOL

I think you'd better send me some.

Beautiful, Karl...I really like that spalted wood.

Looking forward to making some knives like that, my forge should be done real soon.
