Fighter knife upgrading

[PedroFornari]

Hello friends, with great pleasure, I come to present my new work and new stage in my career, it is my first knife in steel of Damascus. Performed in a course with the Knifemaker Ronaldo Franceschi.
It is a fighting knife, standard Damascus ladder, with approximately 9.5 inches of blade, ivory handle, sheath with elephant application.
I hope my friends like my work

Excellent work. The pattern of the Damascus and the blade shape go well together.

Franceschi is a great knifemaker and teacher, and you are in a very good path.
Congrats!

How do You spell Guicci because You can spell it any way You like. And, because You are that in knife lexicon I’d say.

Very nice, thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks my friends

Wow that Master’s knife has a great ricasso with it curling away from the hand. Some kind of comfort there!

Wow... they BOTH look like the work of a master to me!

The contrast in your pattern is incredible, very striking. I always like when a few thicker layers are thrown into the billet to give those bold lines in the pattern. I also like how Mr. Franceschi left the hot blued finish unpolished on the bolster, it allows that gold inlay to really 'pop'. I'm not sure I can remember seeing a gold inlay that was either raised or engraved before, let alone both. It's a very cool effect and looks great on his knife.

They's both beautiful and exceptionally made. The ivory is a perfect choice for both knives. The sheaths look great too!

Thanks for sharing

Just amazing. I love the ivory handle and the way she sheath is meant to be carried.

Fantastic work, both.
I'm a huge fan of integrals and those both blow me away!
