BLADE SHOW ’2015' ~ Show Us What You Got!

[Camber]

That's a really nice dagger!

^Beautiful handle, Cocobolo?

Thank you, ironwood that I got from the Masecraft table at ECCKS.

 

[DEllis]

Bigun... 4.5" blade.

That Damascus pattern is really cool. Messes with the mind a little bit. That took some creative thinking.
Either that, or you need to lay off the sauce while grinding grooves for the ladder pattern

Thanks! That's funny, just a couple days ago Daryl Meier said my damascus patterns looked distorted. I took it as a compliment.

That's some blade to handle ratio Don.

 

[Chris Montgomery]

That's some blade to handle ratio Don.

I had the same thought. That's how I like to see them, make as much blade as will fit in the frame.

Outstanding Don.

This is the first knife I have finished for the show. It is a Pocket Fighter in CPM 154. This is only the third knife I have hand sanded the finish on.

Jerry forged this special Sendero for a give-away at the CKCA Banquet the night before Blade Show.
It has a 4 1/4" blade forged from 5160 round bar then water quenched it. It has a burl Afrazilia handle, stainless guard and Jerry's deep relief engraving.

 

[Kevin Jones]

As of tomorrow, there's only 3 weeks until Blade Show.
Any Blade Show bound knives to share?

 

[Karl B. Andersen]

Coming soon. Hot-bluing to do first.

 

[Matthew Gregory]

Excellent work!!! Nasty business getting a mirror finish like that.

 

[Ben Seward]

Should have these raw materials turned into knives by then...if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise. Should have a small damascus and stag bowie, of course the camp/utility knife, and something special with the damascus fighter blade...and whatever else I can squeeze in.

That damascus looks great. Twisted in the forge?

 

[RogerP]

LOVE the damascus Karl!

 

[Karl B. Andersen]

LOVE the damascus Karl!

Thank you, Roger.

Ben, as difficult as it is to say - I just pretty much give up on that. The character I get when I do it that way is just off the chart. I've seen nothing like it anywhere.
But it's just too damn hard to succeed and the waste of steel can be significant.
Plus I burn the s*it out of myself every time and it's just plain dangerous.
I've changed gears here and am happy with it.
Here's the steel right after I twisted it.
It's an 8" blade and I have 14 full twists.

 

[Kevin Jones]

Karl, that's some fine looking blade steel.

 

[Lorien]

sure wish the show wasn't during my busy season. I'll see you's there one day, though.

Per Jerry:
This one is headed to the Blade show. Sambar Stag, Dog Star pattern Damascus, deep relief scroll work on the stainless guard. The blade is approx. 5 inches long.
The Sendero makes a companion knife for whatever you do out in the field or just stay home and look at it. It works for either.
