New in the forums: Damascus bowie

[Joeliton Satiuq]

Hello guys, first time posting here.
I've learned a lot from you all and its time to submit my work for your scrutiny.
This is one of my latest finished knives.
7" composit (sp?) turkish damascus blade (15n20 and 1070).
42 mm (around 1 5/8") blade width and 6.4mm (around 1/4") blade thickness.
Stainless guard and damascus pommel screw.
Handle made of a niece piece of Cabreuva wood. The sheath is hand sewed and tooled bovine leather with a stainless pin.
Coments and critics welcome.

Pardon the celphone pics.

Lots of comments on the damascus (and rightly so), but I love that guard and faceted handle. I’ll also agree that the sheath is killer. Very nice work!

 

[Dawkind]

Oh, my....exceptional and welcome!

 

[PaulDiStefano]

Incredible work man!!! How many layers did you have before twisting, It looks killer

Not sure at bringing this thread back or opening another, but good news must be spreaded.
