Jerry Fisk blends WTC I & II steel with Geo Washington tree...seriously

Just the steel pattern alone fills the visual senses. Then add in all the other aspects; coupled with the significance of the artifacts. :eek:

Off. The. Charts.

Always great to see your renditions, Buddy. You have a distinct eye for clarity and also allow the viewer to see those hidden areas.

Good thread. :thumbup:

This!
 
Thanks yall, I appreciate the encouragement. It was a fun project.
The steel from the WTC is just structural steel. I mixed it with 15N20, added a bit of sugar on occasions during the welding and come out with something that chopped fine. Messy though.
I had more 15n20 than I did the WTC being aware of my carbon content.
 
The workmanship is superb, the background of the materials is amazing, and I love the added touch that you made sure there was enough high-carbon steel for it to be a functional blade. :cool:

Awesome, awesome, awesome. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Like so many of Jerry's knives, this piece has it all, beauty, superb fit/finish/execution, unique materials, jazzy Damascus and just pure cool. :cool:
 
What else can be said about this knife? A sentimental piece that will evoke a lot of emotion just by the memories it will contain. Awe inspiring.
 
The collector who has this must be so very honored on so many levels to own this knife.

Exquisite, majestic..what words to use? Thank you for creating and sharing Jerry, Paul, and Buddy!
 
I will add that beyond its compelling historical significance, the wood chosen for the handle is exceptionally beautiful and a terrific choice on its own aesthetic merit.
