One For Chicago

[Kyle Royer]

Here is a knife for the Chicago knife show this September. This is my first D-Guard Bowie, the 11" blade is made of 720 layers of 1084 and 15N20 in Brush Fire Pattern Damascus. The handle is of Desert Ironwood. The fittings are of mild steel that has been salt blued to a black color, this is the first knife I've done to have salt blued fittings and this is also the longest blade I've done. Chuck Ward will be photographing this so I will put his picture of the knife on here after he sends it to me.

Also special thanks to Harvey Dean and Centercross Videos for their DVD on D-Guards.

Tell me what you think.:thumbup:

It's a beauty. Always wanted a D-guard, but damn if they aren't technically illegal in the state of California.

 

[Jon Brand]

That looks extremely well done. Each knife gets better and better. Great job!

 

[DESO]

Excellent work.

I continue to be very impressed with your work, Kyle. The damascus pattern on this piece is real tight and controlled. If I make it to Chicago, I'll welcome to the chance to give this one a long look.
