White Iron Hunter is the name of a style of knife I put together to commemorate a favorite lake of mine near the Boundary Waters in northern Minnesota.
The customer wanted this one forged from W1 tool steel and clay processed to create a groovy hamon.
I had a chunk of 1 1/8" W1, so I had that covered.
I used Coco Bolo for the handle.
You will see a new take-down "gadget" not like my normal four pin finial.
A week or so ago I had a knife to send to a retired military man living in Interior Alaska.
He also wanted a take-down.
And I got to thinkin'.
If a fella living in Interior Alaska lost his neat little 4-pin take-down wrench, it could be a real problem.
So, after a day or so of thought process, and a combination of threading, tapping, stainless steel socket head cap screws and silver brazing, a new finial was born that would accept over-the-counter assembly tools.
I've done everything I can to this assembly and all I end up doing is bending the allen wrenches!!
It's tough.
Super tough.
I like knife assemblies that withstand abuse - not just the blades.
