Karl B. Andersen Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) Here is a piece of Sambar Stag that I was able to keep 100% intact with no stock removal involved to make the various pieces fit! In other words, from the face of the handle to the butt, no tapering was done to fit the spacer or butt cap - get it? Now, the spacer is not a PERECT oval or circle, but, rather, made slightly out of shape to fit the face of the Stag. Additionally, the butt cap was shaped to FIT the handle butt. You get the point. Forged and clayed 9 3/4" W2 blade and stainless take-down fittings complete the 14 3/4" package! Soon available at: http://www.andersenforge.com/availableknives.html Edited November 6, 2008 by Karl B. Andersen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Potter Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Beautiful, clean and graceful, well done sir. Ben Potter Bladesmith It's not that I would trade my lot Or any other man's, Nor that I will be ashamed Of my work torn hands- For I have chosen the path I tread Knowing it would be steep, And I will take the joys thereof And the consequences reap.
