Damascus and Blackwood...
Hey guys. Here's my first one finished up for this new year. And of course............it's a hunter. This one is short and compact but still quite stout. This knife was really difficult for me to photograph and I'm certainly no pro.
This started out as a two bar twist, twisted opposite directions and welded back to back. But a lot of hand forging left it more like 'random with a twist'. Specs: Hand forged from my own 1080 and 15n20 damascus 7 3/4" overall, 3 1/4" blade, .195" thick at the ricasso Sharp distal taper Rounded spine and ricasso edge for comfort German silver collar, file fluted African Blackwood handle All comments and discussion welcome. If anyone wants to be added to my email list for similar pieces or notifications of available knives, email me at jdoyleknives AT gmail DOT com Here it is on another background, better or not-I'm not sure. __________________ John Doyle You have nothing to fear but fear itself...........and bears. |
