Hi all, finished up another in the ancient relic style. I had the drawing for this one laying around on the workbench for a while and finally got to it. I used 1080 for the blade, mild steel top bar, copper and brass pins, forged integral guard, everything antiqued. Overall length is 7 1/8" with a 2 5/8" blade. Comes with a display stand made of a piece of bamboo, mild steel and copper. This one is now sold. Hope you guys like it!

Awesome work Serge. I love the copper pins along the edge of the handle, and the stand compliments the knife perfectly.
 
Serge,

Another tiny art work. The textures on the different metals, the colors, and the delicate, bird-bone structure are all superb "knife-as-art" elements.

Nice work Serge. You got style! These relic knives remind me of folk art or something I'd see at a craft fair.. You also make some nice user and tactical knives.
 
Serge, that is off the hook! One of the coolest knives I've seen in awhile.
 
I absolutely LOVE this particular one. Beautiful lines and crisp, clear photos.

(As I write, it's on Serge's site as 'Available'. Crazy deal.)

Thanks!

Very, very nice piece - nice enough to want, if still around.

Wow, this one REALLY got a hook in me - Thanks to Coop or I might have missed seeing it.

Serge, this one is a keeper - it is going to share space alongside my Magnus Axelson icepick. I think they REALLY compliment each other - and somehow stir me in the same way. When I first saw the icepick, I knew it would stay with me - and it has. I feel the same way about "#237 - Relic".

Lovely work as usual mate.

Like that one too! Lots of interesting details! I like the domed hammered pins!

Cool stuff!

I have to echo John White's comments as thats about exactly what I was thinking.

So visually appealing.
 
I think that is very well done. so warm and nice to look at and I can tell it will work very well
 
Great work!
It has a very definite style, and great choice of materials and how to assemble them.
That's true Art.
 
A pleasure to look at. My favorite part is the widened/comfortable finger guard and the two copper plates. You do march to the beat of a different drummer.
 
OK, it's here - and it is every bit as cool on display as it is in the images above.

Serge, you hit a home run on this piece, just way cool, thanks!

I spent $700 on an iPad the day earlier. Believe me I had to hold back my desire and willingness!

Congrats Bob. Way to go, Serge!
