Again nice work. I really like the handle on the second one. Any chance of another pic of it showing the handle? What is the custom knife scene like in Turkey, are there many makers, any traditional knife forms?

Thanks Bhamster
Let me answer your questions first. In Turkey, there aren't many knife makers in Turkey. And about traditional knife forms.. Blacksmiths in different places still makes different types of traditional knives.

btw. I will add the other photos of the knife.( handle wood is mulberry and rosewood)

[Nebulae]

whoa I didnt see the carved handle that looks really good especially with the guard and damascus

Very excellent Assuva, do you hand hammer your damascus or use a powered ram? and what materials as far as blade steel do you commonly use? You are a very talented knife maker.

 

[assuva]

Thanks for your words *Original
At first, i usually do with hand hammer. And then, powered ram. Sometimes only with hammer.
When I'm making damascus, I generally use 9260 and pure nickel, 9260 and AEB-L,...
