Corneta Wotan mod - Tactical brute to Civilized Beaut
10/21/2014
I had recently seen a picture of Peter Hammer's last Wotan build. It was a high polish blade with a wood handle. I have requested he allow me to use it and I will post here if he does.
What I did so far was remove the Kraton handle and media blast the coating off the knife. After which I did run it under a wire wheel.
Before and after blasting:
I kinda like this "Satin" finish, but I will probably change my mind later.
Now to figure out a handle. That is a Huge hidden tang to cover up, 4-1/4" total length, 1/4 x 5/8 stock.
Any ideas?
Here is Peter Hammer's last Custom Wotan. I do not know the species of wood, but I would guess Cocobolo.

The Wotan is a Casted 52100 knife. I imagine that may have something to do with it. I will comment that after media blasting, wire wheel, 3M metal finishing wheel followed by 220, 600, 1000 & 1500 grit. This knife is still sharp as all get out.

Having thought about this for a month, I have become a little more ambitious about the handle. I pulled a piece of buffalo, stag and 2 nickel silver spacers into the mix.
I believe they may contrast well together. The stag will be blended into the Ironwood leaving a smooth finish that will darken as it is used...I think. Lets see what happens.

I am anxious to finish this now. Want to see it finished with those extra design elements. I need a home workshop.
