I was fortunate to participate in the Battleship Texas Foundation project where they supplied me with battleship materials in exchange for my donating a knife to the foundation. By the rules of that trade, I was able to use the remaining ship material in knives and other projects as I was able. Here is the first Battleship Texas knife that I've made available to the public.
The knife features Battleship steel clad over 360 layer damascus with a nickel layer between. The gnarly alloy banding pattern in the ship steel is original from the 1910's. The fittings are ship steel, etched. The handle is deck wood from the ship, cross cut and flipped in a mosaic pattern. The spacers are 1914 and 1948 coins for the ship's commission and decommission years. OAL is 12 1/4 with a 7.5" blade. The sheath is my work as well. Price is $3000. I'll send provenance/documentation with the sale.
