Up is a damascus knife ive been working on. It doesnt look like damascus in the pics because I did a super light etch to achieve a holographic effect that looks awesome in person but pics dont quite capture it. This knife is razor sharp and is sharpened on Natural Water Stones before shipping. Its also super light. The kirinite is so light, that and i drilled out the tang a little more then normal to make a hardly noticable pocket fixed blade. I want to note that I forge all my own metal and make all my own sheaths. First ill take it gets it.

Pins- Nickel silver with one canvas micarta ( I dimpled the nickel pins)

Hey guys. I have finally sourced some blue super and blue #1 San Mai. I have very little blue super but tons of blue #1, and ill even be offering some in white #2. This is the first one in blue super. Its san mai. Im not going to etch the san mai so its hard to see in the pics but as you use the knife and a patina develops you will easily be able to see the lamination line. This steel is not cheap so im having to charge more for this type of knife but I promise you wont be disappointed. Its cladded in extremely clean iron and features a rockwell hardness around 62-63. Takes a crazy keen edge. I sharpen all my knives freehand on Natural Water Stones before shipping. First Ill take it gets it!!!!

Specs
Steel- Blue Super Core with Wrought Iron Cladding. This thing is super light weight!
OAL- 7"
Blade- 3 1/4"
Thickness- 1/8" with forged tapers
Handle- Blue Kirinite
Pins- I tried something different and dimpled the pins, center canvas micarta pin, the rest are nickel
Sheath- Right pocket leather lined with buckskin Hand Tooled/stitched by me
Price- 400$ shipped USPS priority with tracking

I'd seen kirinite on suppliers websites and thought it looked too tacky to make something beautiful, boy was I wrong. I think you hit the nail on the head with that etched blade and the lava kirinite, and combine that with the forged (yet still very clean) look and I'm loving that knife. Beautiful work!
 
Thanks! :) yeah I really like how it turned out. I agree with you on the kirinite. I ordered it not knowing what I was going to do with it but thought I'd try it on on these blades and thought they turned out pretty cool.
 
These are SO beautiful. I want that first one SO bad. But I committed to no more knives in April. No more knives in April. No...
 
I'm confident that you'll make more later. Committing to buying is almost the same as buying, right now. Gotta stick to my commitment.
