First Damascus

I just finished posting 3 pictures (throughout my site, http://members.home.net/thknives ) of the first Damascus steel I ever forged. Rick Dunckerley tought me at the Northwestern Canadian Knifemakers Symposium, this summer.
I have never forged before and he walked me through the process very success-fully.
I call it my happy face damascus, it is actually a basket weave pattern - the happy face

that's me.

Wowsers Tom, that damascus and folder are gorgeous!!!! I love damascus when it's etched real deep like that! What did you etch it in??? Man I gotta get myself a forge built!!!!

Always think of your fellow knife makers as partners in the search for the perfect blade, not as people trying to compete with you and your work!

That knife really looks good ! I like that pattern of damascus and the design of the knife is great. Nice and clean design

That's a terrific looking knife Thomas - real harmony of design. What are the scales made of? Stag?
