Hi everyone!
I said that I was going to make the D-guard next. I had it three quarters done and someone reminded me that I had to get the 2010 Little Rock Knife Show Raffle Knife, that I volunteered to make, finished before April 1st. I set the D-guard aside and made this. I will finish the D-guard next, (unless something else comes up
)
So here it is. The 6 1/2" blade is forged from 1080 and 15N20 in "Starburst" Pattern Damascus (which is a Mosaic pattern that has been slide welded). This was the first time I've made this pattern and the first time I've done a slide weld. The handle is African Blackwood. The fittings are of German Silver. The two pins in the handle are domed (also my first time). The overall length is 11 1/4" long. The spine is domed and has a little up-rising at the clip. I think I like this pattern better than the "W" Feather Damascus, I don't know
You can possibly win this knife by going to the February, 2010 AKA Custom Show in Little Rock; purchase a knife from anyone; they will give you a ticket that you enter in; just maybe, get your name drawn for this knife or one of the knives that other makers are donating.
Tell me what you think!
Thanks for looking!
