July 7, 201412 yr Here are two I forged recently. 60 layer 1084, 1095 and 15N20. Scales are dyed boxwood elder. Brass pins
July 9, 201412 yr Steve, They look more like hunter/skinners to me. A paring blade is smaller/thinner in profile. Just my 2 cents. John
July 9, 201412 yr My preference would be the green handle though. Both are nice knives and I'd be proud to own either.
July 16, 201412 yr I'm curious if boxwood elder is sometimes called "boxelder"? I had a stump in the backyard - it attracted these little bugs called...boxelder bugs. Nice knives. Did you dye the wood yourself?
July 17, 201412 yr Author Yes. Box elder. I always seem to screw up names of my wood. I buy so many in advance and always seem to mislable or change the names.
