Damascus and Stag Working Man

[Dave Kelly]

Hi, I recently finished this one and it's heading to fellow forumite Phillip Doss (NOTDOS).

3.25 carbon, pattern welded blade
carbon, pattern welded bolsters with black micarta and stippled blade steel spacers
Red deer antler scales
.63 stippled and anodized titanium frame
blade steel file worked back spacer
7.50 o.a.l.

Thanks for looking. Any and All comments/opinions welcome and appreciated. Dave

I like it Dave. Is it an optical illusion, or is the cutting edge wavy? And by the way, when are you gonna get a website? You're making too many fine knives to not have one!

 

[Dave Kelly]

Hey Mongo, I'm glad you like it! It's an optical illusion, the wavy lines you see at the edge is a pattern in the steel. Got a couple more folder designs to make and I've never made a fixed blade so I think I'll give that a try before I start a website. Thank you much for the comments about my knives, Dave

the handle is beautiful! That's an unusual edge, half straight & half concave?

 

[Mr.BadExample]

Wow, I really like that. Overall design, and the rough yet fancy materials. A big honkin damascus claw. Very sweet. And yeah, where's your website at?!

I originally made this blade shape to be a box opening, string cutting utility knife, this is just a dressed up version.

Fishface and Mr.Bad, thank you for the kind words

Dave
