This is a first post for me as far as this blade being damascus. A friend of mine, Ray Coon, had made the damascus and was wanting to see if I could forge a hawk out of it for him but everytime I tried to drift the eye it would seperate on me. I've always hated to see a piece of steel like this go to waste so I cut the bar up and made a few knives out of it. This one has a 7 1/2" blade with a cocobola handle and wrought iron fittings.

Well, let me be the first of many who say, "Holy Shneike! That is one fine looking knife!"

Great blade, great handle, great fittings. Great job.

I'm feeling great today, in case you're wondering.

This sleek style you are doing right now makes for some very handsome knives. I very much like the random pattern of that damascus.

Keith, I figured you'd be along soon. This new style I've come up with I have no idea what the influence was but I'm really liking it. I also have no idea where it is taking me, I'm just along for the ride. I don't plan on doing anything larger than the last one but I never know. I feel like I've just touched the surface so far......

You have a Great Day! Ray

That's one slick-looking blade for sure - very nicely done!

Cheers,

Roger

Thanks Roger! I'm trying to figure out which direction to go from here with this new style for me. I'm still building in my head.....
