Damascus Knife

[tduncan]

This knife started by just playing around and the next thing you know there it was.
OAL 7 1/2" Blade 3 1/4" 7/8" wide, full tang
with Olivewood handle, Brass liners and pins.
It was a blast to make, I don't know why everybody is not making Damascus.

Bruce, It welded together like a dream other than the three hours of swinging a hammer but I had fun and that's what it's all about.

I wish the steel and steel sitting around me would materialize into a knife like that!

Tim,That look SWEEEEEEET.
Glad to here that it welded up nicely for you.I don't know what I would do anymore without my power hmmer when making Damascus.It used to take all day to get a small Bowie size piece welded up.But OI agree it is fun.
Keep up the good work,and keep the forge fires burning,
Bruce
