Hello guys.
A friend recently asked me: “Why do you spend so much time in the details when you can never take adequate payment for so much work?”
Why really? - I asked myself a little before I fell asleep that night. There is many answers, but most likely my wife was closest to the faithful one when she said once: “Quite often, when you work over your table and think that nobody is watching you, or when you finish one of your projects, some idiot smile appears on your face.” And I think she's right. That's exactly the reason.
So, that's why named this knife - “The smile of the idiot”.
Blade – 155 layers Damascus steel hand forged of O2 and and much thinner than cigarette paper nickel net - /0.01 mm before forging/. Differentially heat treated with clay. 59 – 61 HRC after tempering.
Handle – Walnut root.
Guard and pommel – Hand-engraved bronze. Hidden tang.
Inlays - Bronze and mosaic of malachite.
The sheath made of 3.5 - 4 mm. cow leather my friend George Petkov.
If you want a larger image, you can click on the photo.
On the upper side of the line are centimeters - inches are from the bottom.
The price is 330 $ including shipping.
$ 20 extra if you want the shipment to be insured. The choice is yours.
