Hello everyone!
Yes, I'm still making knives.
I have just been so busy with custom orders that I've not spent due time posting them on here as I should have been. So here's a fancy one I just recently finished up for a collector up in Northern IL.
My brother, Caleb of Caleb Royer Studio, did all the great photo shooting on this one! All I can say is that he's got the touch for it.
Specs to follow,
The 11 inch blade is forged from 1080 and 15N20 damascus that has a tile mosaic core with mosaics of the same pattern on the outside perimeter of the blade, only instead of tile mosaic the outside bars are twisted mosaic. The handle is of some really nice blue/green fossil mammoth ivory with four domed gold, 18K pins. All the gold inlay in the blued steel fittings is also 18K. The handle is a take-down for future maintenance and clean up if it ever needs be done. The rest of the fittings are of the same mosaic damascus that the blade was forged from. The guard was grooved and coined, the front spacers were also grooved and the pommel nut was coined. The spine of the blade is crested. Overall length is right around 16 inches. I made the sheath for it as well and it has lots of tooling and a rattlesnake skin overlay. I think thats about it. Let me know what you all think.
Thanks for looking.
