Random damascus with some KILLER buckeye burl
Hey guys, here's the most recent one finished. This is my favorite size and shape for a hunter. The handle is very comfortable in many different positions and the blade is, to me, an ideal size for a hunting knife. I don't make many damascus knives as I like to use damascus I've made myself. I don't have many chances to make much...........yet. This blade and fittings are all from random billets I made last time I was at Ed Caffrey's, which has been a while now. I dug deep into my old stock of buckeye burl for this one. Lots of crazy burl and figure.
Specs: Hand forged blade from my own 1080 & 15n20 damascus 8" overall, 3 3/4" blade, .195" thick at the ricasso Heavily rounded spine and ricasso edge Fittings and finial from my own damascus also 1080 & 15n20 Bronze coined spacer Stabilized buckeye burl handle, file carved All comments welcome. __________________ John Doyle You have nothing to fear but fear itself...........and bears. |

This is getting painful...you'll remember us little people when you're famous, right? . Did you use a lathe for the finial? Great job, John.

Every time I see one of your knives I am liking the proud handle style more and more. I am going to try it on the big bowie I'm working on at the moment.
