I had this piece of Thunderforge Damascus laying around for too long and decided to do something with it. The billet was .25 thick by 12" long and 1.25 wide. I forged the blade out to 9.5 inch and 1.5 inch wide.

The guard and pommel are brass and the fileworked ferrule is 303 stainless. The grip is California Redwood Burl.

The blade is edge quenched and shows its temper line thru the pattern.

I saw this blade shape by Bagwell in an old KNIVES edition.

and i like the choice of material colors. for inexspensive damascus that thuderforge makes a great knife. i use it for stock removal and it holds a great edge as well as looks good. i just got a e-mail from bruce e. that my next bar of frontier damascus will be shipped monday. can't wait, hope to have a bowie ready for my june show. :)
 
Greg, that's a beautiful knife, you really got the pattern to stand out. Clean lines, looks like it would be very lively in your hand... :D Thanks for sharing,

I must say that is a lovely looking knife.

Will you be at Blade Show (with this knife) for me to handle? If possible I would also like a purchase price for this knife, if it isn't already sold! Or maybe we could trade for more Thunderforged(r) Damascus??

Let me know your thoughts.
