Orc slayer scrapmascus

hellize · Sep 30, 2015

Orcs are damn tough creatures! With an inhuman stature they tower far above regular men and their immense strength can be only compared to the semi-legendary hero-kings of the long forgotten misty past, like Sigurd for instance, the dragon slayer.
Good for us, mere mortals, that they do have a few weakspots. They lack a well developed frontal lobe, so if you are cunning enough and are blessed by Mímir, you may delude and distract them for just enough time to pierce their tractor tyre-like skin where it's the thinnest, under their arm on the left side and with a good, strong blade protrude to the hearth. You can also try the artery under the scrotum, but that may arose some suspicion since it's difficult to reach, to say the least

The perfect tool for the task lays in front of you!

It is 31 cm long knife, with a 17 cm long, 5,5 cm wide at its max and 5 mm thick blade, forged of all kind of off cuts, bits and pieces of damascus, but mostly 5160, L6 and 1.2516. This one also contains significant percentage of steel cable, whit which I filled up the gaps.

The handle is made of oak. All housed in a sturdy leather sheath, hand sewn of thick cow hide.

hope you guys like it!

I always seeing your work, Szilárd. The "Scrapmascus" pieces you've been making I find particularly appealing. Thanks for sharing, good sir.

Thanks

Scrapmascus's are always special and a lot more harder to forge. Because they are built by many different steels, it is difficult to pinpoint the right temp when to start the forgeweld. For one steel it may be too low to weld, where the other steel is already overheated and at the first hammerblow it shatters like glass. It's a huge pain in the ass, but if you piss on the odds and manage to conquer the billet and also survive the many "almost" nervous breakdowns and heartattacks when the billet is just a hairstring away from failing

you may taste the sweet drops of success!

Yes, the one you have is the one and only, priceless archetypical prototype!
