Latest Knife - Wenge Scales

[opaul]

This is my latest knife and my second attempt at forging. I am really liking the forging and will be taking some classes this fall but until then I'm doing on the job training.
This is a repurposed plow blade, forged and then grinded to refine the shape. The scales are Wenge and the pins are stainless steel. I left the forging marks and tempering quench on the flats, personal I really like the look but I know it's not for everyone.

That's a cool looking knife. Looks ready to work!

Thanks guys! I do like the forging and stock removal knife build.
Gliden, if you have a Klingspor's store near you, it's available in 1/4 x 1 1/2 x 12" strips; as well as other species in that dimension. They also have a great supply of exotic and hard to find wood in small pieces suitable for knife scales.

Well done! Looks like it will be a great little workhorse.
