Damascus Fighter

[Karl B. Andersen]

So soon after coming off the bench, I tell ya', it's still warm!
This Fighter blade was forged out of 1084 and 15N20 steels.
You might see in the second photo that I achieved some really nice chatoyance with my hammer dies when forging the blade.
(Photography just doesn't match up to real life - sometimes.)
The fittings are Stainless Steel and matte finished on the outer surfaces and mirrored where they get less abuse.
Flawless piece of Macassar Ebony.
I wish Spring was here.

That is a great looking knife!

Thanks, Joe.
I can not take credit for that guard - I borrowed it directly from Jerry Rados about five years ago.
Among other things.

Apart from prefering maybe a domed buttcap with no protrusions, I really dig your style. Looks like a great fighter and if heavy enough even a great camp knife. :thumbup:
