Raindrop Pattern Damascus EDC

[Graham Fredeen]

Howdy Folks,

Figure I'd post this over here as well.

Haven't made too many posts over here yet, and due to "life" I haven't had a great deal of shop time recently either. Finally got another blade completed, so thought I'd better come over this way and share it with you folks.

I think this one will be a new EDC for myself. My old EDC is getting a bit beat up and as the only example of my work I usually have on me, it doesn't look as impressive anymore and really doesn't reflect my current work as well either. So I figure its about time to put the old dog to rest and "update"

Blade is about 368 layer "raindrop" pattern damascus in 1095 & 15N20 Forged by me.
Blade Length: 4" (tip to guard)
OAL: 8.5"
Stabalized spalted maple burl handle
Mosaic pin
416 Stainless guard
Inside pocket carry sheath with pocket clip

Hope you folks enjoy it, I'm pretty pleased with the result

Can't wait to see this on in person, Graham. I love that flared guard!
I'm tied up this coming weekend but maybe we can get together the next.

Thanks Dana :thumbup: .

That sounds like a tenative plan. I think I might be doing a forging demonstration for a group of boyscouts this comming weekend myself (just waiting for the confirmation), but the following weekend I should be free.

Anyway, take care and we'll be in touch.

I find that to be a stunning knife! The graceful understatement of the bolster separating the strong patterns of steel and wood is killer. Very fine work sir.
