Damascus fighter -- who made it?

[Mr_Mauser]

Well, there you go. Thank you for sharing. Where/when does it say that Mr. Thie's knife was cable damascus?

[Thomas Linton]

Doesn't, but interesting that it was not plain forged blade and that it had to pass a chopping test - apparently without chipping. Pretty tough to get to Master

Just in support of Bernard's "typical ABS style" knife. It is similar to the stick tang knives that were being produced by both ABS and non ABS members. A lot of forged knives were made in that style in the late 80's, early 90's. Damascus or not.

I do agree that there is a a Scagel influence to the trailing point blade shape.

[Ed Fowler]

In 1985 the ABS would allow Wire Damascus blades in the judging for MS stamps, then they were not allowed, don't know what the status is now.
As I remember I was the 12th ABS MS .

Handle is no scagel handle. Too short.

I'm convinced we have a winner in Chuck Patrick as the maker!. Perhaps the knife owner could email Chuck for confirmation just for grins & giggles.

Bladeforums strikes again! Good detective work. I see the feathers in the extreme close-up now.

WOW, Thanks to all who posted there thoughts on the knife and also to Bernard for putting it in his forum for me!! I am so glad that I know who made it. I just went to Chuck's site and also emailed him pictures of the knife. I will post the reply when I get it.

Sorry did not realize there was a second page to post and knife was identified already.
