Looking for some Turkish inspiration....

deker · Dec 18, 2008

Hey folks,

I've got a damascus billet sitting in the shop that I think wants to end up as a Turkish twist. I've been wanting to play with this pattern for a while and I think it's high time I got to it. What I'm trying to decide now is what type of blade that billet will want to become. I'm looking to you, the collectors to help with some pictures of knives made with Turkish twist damascus to give me a little inspiration.

Let's see some pics!

Thanks,

Here's a dagger done by Rodrigo Sfreddo about a year ago. It has a modified turkish twist damascus blade. It once was mine but now resides in the great collection of one of our fellow forumites.

Here's one that I did. The bolster is Rados Turkish and the blade is forged to shape Daryl Meier Turkish.

Very nice piece Chuck. The colors in that one work very well...

Tell you what, Chuck, Rados and Meier on the same knife?
I don't think I'd ever sell that if I was you.
That just doesn't happen every day.

What tempted you to part with such a nice piece??

All the best,
