Caramel Apple Swayback
« on: May 18, 2012, 06:06:00 PM »
This is a new design for design for me. It is my interpretation of some of the gorgeous traditional swayback folders that I have been seeing lately.
The handle scales are natural canvas micarta w/ toxic green liners. It looks kind of like a caramel apple to me!     :cool:    
The Oal is 8" and the blade from tip to handle is 4" of acid etched L6.
Let me know what you think! All feedback is welcome.

That is a nice looking knife Ben, I would like it more with a different color spacer but that is a minor thing, really like the handle shape very natural loooking

Another nice one, Ben.  The lines flow nicely and the green adds a cool "pop".   :thumbsup:

Very nice.  Your work really went from good to great in a hurry.  I really dig your style.  I like the way that the blade and the handle have a mirrored effect, in that the belly of the handle reflects a mirrored profile of the spine of the blade.  I'll have to order a bushcraft knife from you in the near future  :)
