I recently finished up another bench knife. This one was to fill an order. The customer decided to go with Color case hardened fittings and stabilized walnut burl. Walnut and color case.. such a beautiful combination. I’m not really feeling verbose at the moment, so stats and a picture:
OAL: a touch over 9.25
Steel: W1 with Hamon
Fittings: 1018 (color case hardening by me)
Handle: stabilized claro walnut burl
[Oh and yes it is a forged blade with JS under my POD mark ]
