A friend brought me a piece of South African Lead Wood from a tree on his farm. I decided to put it on this hidden tang blade. Blade Damascus crushed W's laddered 1080 / 15N20 by maker Curved bolster with stainless and fiber spacers and a stainless pin in the tang. Hope you like it.
Thanks for the comment on the bolster. I started making those last year and they are a real pain to bend all the pieces with the same radius and then glue all the spacers to them. I have made some jigs and dies for my press so it goes a lot faster now than in the beginning. I am always looking for something different on my knives that helps to make them unique.
