Michael'’s knives

That is one beautiful knife my friend!!!! I am so impressed with your work. I will be watching for your next posts of knives for sale. I want one😊
 
Hello guys.
This is “The Monster”.
I made it in the breaks between the other knives, so it took quite a long time. Finally it’s ready.
The blade is forget of spring steel 60C2A. Heat treated with clay. 58 – 59 HRC after tempering. I left it softer, because it’s quite long. Blade 360 x 50 x 6 mm. The whole thing is a long 670 mm.
This is my first attempt to shape a steel guard in a plastic form. A little clumsy, but for a first attempt it will do. :D
The handle of walnut root. Bronze separator after guard and on the back side. Bronze and copper pin.
The weight of this monster is 645 grams. 950 grams with sheath.
I was afraid it would not be quite balanced at work. But after I chopped splinters few zombies calmed down. As they say in a thematic show “It will kill”. :D
The sheath is made of 4 – 4.5 mm. hard as wood cow leather. Do not pay attention to what it pretends to be a crocodile. It’s a cow…. Or perhaps a bull.

Hello guys,
From time to time I go into a tangled affair with my knives. For me just is difficult to abstain. The same thing happened this time. :D
So, I am presenting you a dagger named “Wail”.
Blade - 99 layers hand forget of 80CrV2 /L2/ and 75Ni8 Damascus steel. 59 - 60 HRC after tempering.

Handle – … Well I will tell you about, but not now. Now you tell me, what material from was made that handle? Not many of my colleagues managed to guess.



Guard and pommel was sculptured and engraved of this bronze door handle.





Here finally is the “Wail”.

Handles in this post are some of the most beautiful work that I've ever seen in my entire life. Hands down no question.
 
Tim works. In all honesty, I believe that you are an artist. Keep trying new things and don't get comfortable. That mean's it's time to try something else.

Those words given to me from someone who was very successful at his career. Nuff said.
 
There is a small worm in my head that never let me feel comfortable. :D So I fully understand that man.
Thank you. :thumbup:

Hello guys,
Normally I do not work on commission. Do exceptions only when something intrigued me. This is the reason to show you this knife. Until that moment I had never forged such a long and thin blade.
Blade - 128 layers hand forget of 80CrV2 /L2/ and 75Ni8 Damascus steel. 59 - 60 HRC after tempering. Differentially heat treated with clay.

Handle – Stabilized, rotten birch (cross-section), walnut root and a piece of impregnated wood, which no longer remember what it was.
Guard – bronze.
Separators – bronze and turquoise mosaic.










I like mountain landscape painted by rotting on a piece of white birch.



I found personally on several types of dry meats that knife with such a thickness cut just superb. :D
