Hi everybody, just finished this one up for Larry at Blade Art. 1080, Bocote handle with brass pins, forged guard, edge quenched and etched, overall length is 6 7/8" with a 2 3/4" blade. Hope you guys like it, thanks for looking!

I love your work Serge. You are one of the few makers that have a style truly your own. I applaud you for taking a road less traveled.

Very nice Serge.:thumbup: Those "twist" daggers are cool also!:cool:

Kind regards,

Those ARE some cool and stylish knives Serge. The guard off the ricasso is very innovative and looks like it would feel good in hand.

Thanks for posting them.

I had to come back and have another look at these - dayum! You have a very unique vision to say the least, Serge, but you do some very beautiful work. Even my wife liked these (walked by and stopped to say "wow") and she's not a "knife person". Nice job, man!
 
Panchenko does a super thin edge and I've found with my little knife that hardness is quite high, making his knives into little molecule separators. Very practical for little knives and likely for this beauty as well.

He's not just an artist who makes knives, he's a knife maker who approaches knife making as a creative and artistic outlet.
 
Serge, great looking as usual.

Was the Forged Guard something that came out of our conversation at BLADE or were already doing this? I remember we talked about something similiar but I know you had lots of visitors.

I'm sure Larry will be very pleased. :thumbup:
