White Iron Hunter
« on: May 28, 2015, 08:21:00 AM »
A design I formulated in 2008 directly after getting my JS certification.
Named after a Lake in the Boundary Waters Wilderness - White Iron.
Forged from large round stock of W1 and finished off with a hamon.
Black canvas Micarta, stainless guard and built in take-down fashion.

(That second picture has little specs of rain on it.)

Nice work Karl. I like the blade profile, a little different. Handle looks like a comfortable fit.

We are used to seeing the dropped choil but I really like this Karl. It just "looks" right. All business.

I had made this one over the Winter and someone who follows my work said he thought it might look good in Micarta.
So, when I see him in Atlanta, I'm going to waive the new one under his nose.     :cool:
