Here is the current condition of the clay coated knife above.
I will finish out the take-down fittings in the morning, cut out and wet mold the sheath, then clean up the blade and do the final etch!
Stay tuned!
And I was wrong above, it's going to the Netherlands instead of Sweden.
 
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

Here's the "after"
This is the camp knife "mostly" designed by the customer in the Netherlands. I can take not all that much credit for it other than the actual construction.
W2 clay processed blade, African Blackwood handle with stainless take-down fittings.
A 7" blade, and 12 1/4" overall not including take-down finial.
Thanks!

Good thread!  

That is a "Clean" looking knife Karl!

I need to learn how to "affect the Hamon".
