Boot Knife
« on: August 08, 2011, 07:22:00 PM »
I recently finished this knife in Maine while at the New England School of Metalwork. It has a 4 1/2 inch blade of my damascus, a 416 Stainless guard, and Ironwood handle. The OAL is 8 3/4 inch.

Lin, I don't know which looks better.  The wood or the steel.  A beauty for sure!

Lin, that is absolutely awesome.  Beautiful piece of ironwood on your damascus is a winning combination.
