Hunter in merovingian pattern damascus.

[Manuel Quiroga G.]

Hi, just finished this one.

It's a 5 twisted bars damascus of 5160 and 15n20, frame handle, with german silver liners and pins.

I also have some pictures of the finals days of working in this one, like a micro WIP:

Here I'm missing a picture where the manganese phosphate layer is hand rubbed with a 2000 grip sandpaper, leaving the "hills" shiny white and the "valleys" dark.

Very nice. Impressive pattern.

Kind regards,

Damascus pattern looks great and I think it really complements the blade shape. Nice work.

 

[Lorien]

it is VERY hard to pein pins at an angle like that. Well done! Beautiful knife.

 

[MBITTENCOURT]

Nice work Manuel, thanks for share.

 

[Manuel Quiroga G.]

Thanks a lot guys!
Lorien, tell me about it!! It's the first and last time I pein pins in that angle (LOL)

 

[Toni Oostendorp]

Amazing!

 

[Lorien]

Manuel, one experience doing it myself was enough to convince me never to do it again!
Didn't turn out nearly as nice as yours I must say

 

[Geraldo Leão]

Great overall design and workmanship. Congrats!
The black handle goes very well with the damascus.

I think it is fair to say that there are a lot of world class knives coming out of South America now.
Congratulations on the knife and the damascus.

I love it. Especially the twist running along the frame. I've never seen anything like it.

 

[NickWheeler]

Fantastic!!! :thumbup:

really beautiful work. I love seeing the old patterns showing up in modern blades and the frame handle touch is exquisite.
