Alder burl sloyd knife

A gorgeous alder burl, figured pear and Argentine lignum vitae sloyd knife, with a 70mm blade. This is a versatile knife that would be perfect for many applications, including woodcarving, whittling and everyday workshop tasks.
 
The handle is made from an absolutely stunning piece of alder burl, with figured pear and Argentine lignum vitae for the bolster section. A mix of facets and smooth sections provides lots of grip while remaining comfortable to hold. The handle was finished with Peacock Oil, a unique blend of the world's finest traditional oils, resins and waxes that together produce a breathable, water-repellent, figure enhancing and grain strengthening finish.
 
The blade is made from high carbon steel, handforged by Adam Ashworth. I have handsharpened it to a mirror finish, ready for use. The edge is protected with woven bark sheath.
