Andersen Forge Hunter
« on: November 13, 2021, 09:17:27 AM »
Here is one I just made for a long time Trad Gang follower and she's headed to Texas.
I forged the blade from a 1 1/8" round bar of W1 and clay processed it for a hamon.
The handle is what I refer to as "utility grade" Desert Ironwood.

Even plain ole boring ironwood is always a looker.  Its easily one of my favorite handle materials.

Even utility grade ironwood is beautiful. I love that stuff.

Simply beautiful. Never get tired of looking at Karl's work. This Texan wishes this beauty was heading his way.
