Postapocalyptic barbed wire

hellize · Sep 17, 2014

Hello,

I am ready with another one of my world famouse

the post apocalyptic barbed wire damascuses.
This time its full length is 32 cm, the blade is 18.5 cm long, 38 mm wide and 5 mm thick.
The blade has been forged of 5160 and a big bundle of old barbed wire. It's handle is made of leather with antler guards.
It also has a thick leather sheath, all in an extra beaten up apocalyptic look

Hope you guys like it.

I'm really liking the Damascus pattern. Kinda reminds me a bit of the Widmanstatten pattern found in meteorites.

That one turned out especially nice. Simple and brutal. :thumbup:

Wow, thanks.

But the Widmanstatten pattern is a lot cooled than my humble barbed wire.

When I read the thread title, I thought you were talking about actual barbed wire.
I guess real barbed wire wouldn't keep zombies out, but that blade would certainly
decapitate them. Nice work.

Yeah, if want to write its full name: "post apocalyptic neo pagan barbed wire san mai damascus for decapitating nasty zombies with +20% extra ouchiness" people wouldn't take the time reading the title in the first place

Nice knife/sheath package.
Throw some Harley chain in with the next mix and have the coolest Damascus ever.

Seriously, I really like this pattern and it looks like a great useful tool.
