Dog Bone Tooth Pic.

[Del Raso Knives]

Newly completed take down order I'd like to share.

Blade, frame, guard, and main ferrule spacers are all cut from the same bar of Takefu VG10 core san mai. All were heat treated to insure and even acid etch.

Thin ferrule spacers, domes, escutcheon plate, and scale liners are nickle silver. Pommel nut is etched 316 stainless. Scales are natural color stabilized Giraffe bone.

Over all length is 15 1/2" X 10 1/2" blade. Thanks for looking Gents.

Very nice work. Super neat idea to use the San Mai for fittings and frame. That's a nice touch.

Thanks Jim, sorry I missed you too. Had planned to be there but lost too many weeks to the flu.

Wow, amazing work!!! Thanks for sharing that "riveting" technique, i've never seen it before.

Cheers Pablo. Most makers drift sheet into a dapping block to make hollow shells instead of solid domes. I find this method easier for me.
