Fun with Damascus!

[Karl B. Andersen]

I'm not even sure how to classify this one?
But it's something I've had a hankerin' to make for a while.
A Damascus Brut de Forge, selectively ground and finished, and then hot-blued like all of my damascus, but leaving the un-ground, as-forged portions natural.
I find the delineation between the hot-blued and finished pattern weld and the as-forged rough and black area very appealing.
Then with cord wrap and ray skin handle.
The whole thing is just black, Black, BLACK!
It'll get an 'inside-the-belt' sheath since it's so thin, with a quick removal button so you don't need to remove the belt.
Should make a really nice and fancy EDC fixed blade.
(I've got a couple coming right behind this one with Sambar and ivory scales!)

Looking good Karl. Are you going to Resin impregnate the cord wrap?

[Fisher]

these are pretty cool!

 

[John White]

That's really neat, Karl. A truly "Fancy EDC!"

Looking forward to seeing the sambar and ivory ones, also.

I'm likely that. :thumbup:

Kind of an 'uptown ' brute de forge.

I'm looking forward to seeing the stag and ivory models.

So, you can teach an old dog new tricks. I'm referring to both of us.

 

[Pete Crowl]

I really like that Karl. That is slick.

 

[HardUse]

I love that knife

 

[Jos]

Nice blade.

I'm not a big fan of cord handles, but on this knife it seems to work.

Kind regards,

Jos

That's cool Karl I hope I get a closer look a one of them at blade this year.
