Hunter w/ Amboyna Burl & French Patina

[J. Doyle]

I just finished up this nice little hunter/utility knife. Forged from W1 steel, French patina finish, bronze fileworked collar, stabilized naturally two-toned amboyna burl handle. 3 3/4" blade, 8 1/8" overall.

John, that measures up to your normal work - OUTSTANDING!!! I'm starting to really like that "museum" fit on bolsters. I think I'll try one.

French patina - is that does with French mustard? It sure looks nice, and that wide shiny edge really sets it off giving a San Mai look.

Nice catch! And....edited to correct.

Though I've never seen a piece of Amboyna Burl I wouldn't like

Normally I’m not a huge fan of the French patina, but in this case it matches (flows) beautifully into the other pieces. Awesome knife!
