BLADE SHOW ’09 – Show us what you got; Please!

[NickWheeler]

Don, are you using that pallet for the handle material with those blades????

 

[Don Hanson III]

Thanks Guys! I also have a few damascus blades to chose from and hope to finish one or two of them also. Folders in the works too, goin to be a very busy 6 or 7 weeks...

Lorien, those round discs, are slices from 2.125" W2 round bar, I just slice off enough for one blade and start forging, this is for fun part Thanks man!

You mean those 11-W2 discs aren't going to be ready by Blade?? That is a great picture, Don. Roger is right...oh, the possibilities!

I'm glad you explained that Don. I was beginning to think you expanded your operation to include custom hockey pucks.

 

[Bastid]

Dang,

Talk about forged to shape. Can't wait to see them next month.

I doubt Don, will be using any of Gig's handle material though.

 

[Lorien]

making things out of circles is cool. What better shape to start with?
I used to love playing with Silly Putty, and I always started by rolling it into a ball and then making whatever out of it.
I really can't say enough good things about circles:thumbup: My favorite shape by far.

Today, I FedEx'd Don a pair of slabs to use on your knife!

 

[Don Hanson III]

Gig, should I be scared? Will Gus like it?

Wonder how much a hockey puck weighs, these would hurt if hit in the head

Lorien, I like this shape to start, because I can go in any direction, no limits...

 

[Lorien]

it's all about the tangents:thumbup:

 

[JParanee]

Don really like the look of the bottum one. Thanks for posting

 

[Jon Brand]

Here's a small antique Tortoise shell folder I am posting for Cliff Parker. This one is the first one ready for the Blade show.

 

[Kevin Jones]

It's snazzy the way Cliff themes his damascus after the handle material.
He makes some slick folders. :thumbup:

 

[Lorien]

Turtles! It must be a sign.

 

[Don Hanson III]

That C.P. folder is over the top! Super Slick! Great photo too...

I thought that you were going to call those 2 1/8 inch slices "cookies' and package them up like Girl Scout Thin Mints for shipping to customers.

[Jon Brand]

Nice clean design Shawn. Fit/finish looks impeccable.
