Dagon
Back in February, an old college friend sent me a chunk of ancient walrus ivory, requesting that I use it as the handle on a knife. It had once (After the walrus was done with it) been part of a sled runner in Alaska. It got broken off and was buried for a few centuries.
After living with it for a while, I hit on a marine-motif friction folder with random-pattern Damascus blade. A little vacuum-stabilising, a lot of forging and here we are! A knife fit for one of H.P. Lovecraft's Deep Ones, name Dagon. __________________ Charles D.
