Hi Mike very nice knife.
What is the pattern in the blade? Is it carved or machined hot hammered in or something else?
Could you post a closeup please I would love to see in more detail.
Thanks
 
Mike, I dig your cause, your knife looks awesome, and that is one hell of a good price!
Someone had better snatch this one up quick!

The design is carved into the blade, the damascus pattern continues into and through the carving. I will definatley post a close up of it, but i will not be able to until later tonight when i get home from work. And thanks Lorien! I appreciate all the hard work you put into the PIF build. You did an amazing job with it.

Thanks :)
Mike
 
Ok here is a close up of the carving. I did it after i hardened the blade...Could be a touch cleaner, but it was real tough to pull off lol. I don't think it is too bad for my first time doing it.

Thanks

Wow that carving is outstanding! I like how it all flows together and the sheath matches, that is one nice combo.
 
I am unsure about the "Pattern" of which you ask. If it is the damascus pattern it is a ladder pattern. If it is the design, it is carved...
Thanks
Mike
 
Thanks very much for the close up Sir awesome piece of steel.
I really like the handle shape and grain pattern in the finger groove area works well with the knife.
I would call it a work of art that cuts as a bonus.
Decisions-decisions.....
 
If you look at the Pay It Forward sticky over on the Shoptalk area, there is a small WIP on this knife also. Shows step by step the making and fitting of the guard and handle. A lot more pics of this over there

Thanks for the kind words
Mike
