Hi All,
Here's a couple of knives I forged and finished over the last couple of weeks.
This is a knife that I really enjoyed making. It's closer to san-mai than Damascus at only 20 layers, but it yielded some interesting and beautiful results. Internally pinned & soldered bolsters with a Desert Ironwood handle and Bronze pins. 5.5" blade 5/16ths thick. 9 & 7/8ths overall.
Here's a Big Bowie. 640 layer Damascus throughout. 11&1/8th inch blade, 16&7/8ths inches overall. 1/4" thick at ricasso. Elk handle.
Here's an old pre-Journeyman's knife that I just sold. It was meant to look similar to the old Ames rifleman's knife.
Have fun looking.
Cheers,
Fuad
