Rich Hale Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) This is drop point with about a four inch long blade hollow ground from ATS-34 that has been heat treated and cryogenically treated. The guard is 416 stanless to color match the blade and the scales are cut from the molars of a wooly mammoth and have been stabilized for dureability.

Ecart Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Rich, as always that is a beautiful knife. You're one of those makers who always makes me look at the new knives you post. I love your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quenchcrack Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Rich, are you sure you are not part machine? Every knife you make looks perfect. Really nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markb Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Beautiful work. What a grind on the blade, looks simple but I know better. Is it a full tang, looks like the ivory is stacked but also looks like I can see the tang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devins Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Beautiful! I love the molar contrasts. Great material selection and awesome blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hale Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Bob I dream of making a perfect knife but not sure it will ever happen. Mark it is a full tapered tang. Nature made the material look as if stacked....lol Thanks to all for the nice comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
