Skinner-440c

[MikeL]

440c satin finish with desert Ironwood bolster and black ash Burl. The pins are stainless steel. Black G10 liner and in the dovetail between black ash and desert ironwood. The blade is about 4 1/4 and the handle is about 4 1/2. My brother did the sheath. Thanks for looking.

Mike - That knife just speaks to me. I want to hold it. Very nice colors and shape. Black ash burl is the best...

Very crisp and clean. Nice lones and beautiful wood really compliment this one.

Mike how do you like working with 440C? That knife turned out well so I'm guessing you use it a lot?

 

[MikeL]

I like 440c a lot. It looks good with a hand sanded satin or polishes up great for a mirror finish. But I'm also just at the beginning of knife making and part of me using 440 is just staying in my comfort zone. it's not a complicated heat treat so I'm pretty comfortable with it. I'm sure I'll branch out to other stainless steels in the future.
Thanks,
Mike

Great looking work here. I love the figuring on that ash. The design of the blade and the lines are awesome.
