Composite damascus fighter with Ironwood

[NickWheeler]

Hi Guys-



I've got a mid-sized, forged damascus fighter--- SOLD.


The blade consists of 3 opposing twisted bars (1084+15N20) forge welded together and then forged really close to shape. Some folks don't like the distortion of forging a billet like this, but in some cases I like it... it certainly shows the history of the steel being formed into the blade's profile. The guard and pin are 416 ss, the handle is some really rich Ironwood that I got from Mark Farley at BurlSource.


OAL- 12-1/8"
Blade- 7-1/16"L x 1-1/2"W x ~0.200" thick at the guard


SOLD in the US, and will gladly discuss int'l options

Thanks for looking!

I am pretty amazed at how straight you kept the 3 bars of damascus. Amazing work Nick. Probably shouldnt be adding to your for sale thread but I am sure it will be a couple pages before long anyways.

Beautiful work Nick.
If I wasn't already in the pot for your project with Joe I'd be all over this one.

Nick, you make one fine looking knife bud!!!

 

[Olive Tree]

Stunning knife! The matching between blade and handle is just superb. Wish I could afford such a piece of art.

 

[Leethal Cutlery]

Wow! Really nice work Nick. I love the steel pattern. 1100$ seems too cheap for all the work that went into that. Someone's gonna get a damn good deal!
