I am now offering Jerry Rados Turkish Twist for Sale and Jerry is offering free forging to shape if you buy a minimum of 6 inches.

The normal charge for his forging to shape is $6 per inch with a minimum of 6 inches. If you want a 10" bowie that is a $60 savings

This free forging to shape is for a limited time only and I have a variety of sizes available.

All prices are per inch

1/8" x 1" $27.40
1/8 x 1 1/4 $29.80
1/8 x 1 1/2 $36.50

5/32 x 1 $28.40
5/32 x 1 1/4 $30.80
5/32 x 1 1/2 $37.50

3/16 x 1 $35.55
3/16 x 1 1/4 $39.35
3/16 x 1 3/8 $39.85
3/16 x 1 1/2 $41.20

1/4 x 1 1/2 $45.80
1/4 x 1 3/4 $53.00
1/4 x 2 $59.70


Heres how it works:

Send a paper template to Jerry and he will forge the knife to shape for you for free so that the pattern of the steel follows the profile of the knife. The steel is then annealed, Sandblasted and milled down equally on both sides to get the size required.

When Jerry makes his turkish twist, the finished size is about half of what he starts out with. The good pattern is in the center so the top and bottm of the billet has to be milled off the get to the good stuff. About 50% of the steel ends up as swarf on his shop floor but the piece that you get is OUTSTANDING! Of course his steel is guarented against defects so you have nothing to worry about.


Jerry accepts paypal so payment couldnt be easier.

I will add pics of the steel later today. Thanks
 
Sorry about not posting them but I didnt get any response from this thread so I thought there was no interest. am away on buisness and will be back on friday but you can see some pics at Jerry's web site. www.radosknives.com. I will post more when I get back.
 
Michael, I hope you don't mind me posting this, since Jerry is a friend of mine, too.
I can quote Moderator of one of the Knife Network Forums who just said, "Jerry Rados Turkish Twist Damascus is the single most sought after Damascus being made."
I think that is quite a testimony.
Being a person who has helped in Jerry's forge, and watched him at work while making his Turkish, I can understand the above statement.
I hope I don't get in trouble here, but here is a picture of one of Jim Siskas knives with Jerry's Turkish Twist.
 
It's beautiful stuff and I was interested but hadn't posted yet because I've got enough irons in the fire but I should go ahead and pick some up since it's a really good price.

Template incoming. Price it for me before he forges it so that I have a ballpark on the price. I think I'll want a couple of the same shape for a special project.

I dont mind at all Karl. He does make outstanding knives as well as damascus. I am selling Jerry's steel as a favor to him so all the steel comes directly from him. All I do is post and let Jerry know if there are any orders.I deal with the internet crap so he can consentrate on forging. Jerry will also supply anyone with the heat treat info for the steel or heat treat it for you in salt for a very resonable price. You wont be disapointed with his steel, I promise.:thumbup:

If you PM me with the size and thickness of the blades I can give you a price. Did you send the template to me or Jerry?

Thanks
