Hello all.
I present my latest creation.

K720 blade, flat blade and mirror polished, satin shank. Handle natural strawberry roots. Screws loveless style stainless / brass made ​​by me at the wheel.

Total length 22 cm
blade length 10 cm
4 mm thick

the line is inspired by Busse ;)

I hope you like it: ;)











 
Very nice Willow! I am not familiar with K720 steel. Can you compare it to something U.S. ? Also, how is that handle made from strawberry roots? I have never heard of them for handle material but they are very nice.
 
Excellent work Willows- I like that quite a bit- the strawberry root looks great and that blade design will make a good tacticle/camper - I was just looking at those myself.

the k720 (90MnCrV8) is a high carbon steel.
the handle is not strawberry .....
