OneFor a Good Friend

A while back a good friend asked me to make one for his collection. I do very few custom orders any more but felt honored to do this one.

His collection is a bit unique as he has all made with the same blade size & profile and all having an ironwood handle. From there he lets the maker do what he wants.

For this one I decided to blend a little old & new. I used some W1 for the blade and decided to extend the false edge back past the clip as I thought that it matched the handle better. I gave it a ball tipped guard, coffin handle w/inlayed escutcheon, domed pins and a pommel wrap. [It has a hidden tang with recessed pommel nut.]



Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Gary
