This is one I had posted back in december, but I had Coop shoot some better photos of it:

440c blade, desert ironwood handle.

And lastly, here's one I finished yesterday. It's my first attempt at a stainless/carbon laminate. Much thanks to Burt Foster for his excellent WIP thread, which enabled me to do this.

I didn't use Loctite between layers, but it seemed to work anyway. :D

416 stainless on the outside, 1095 on the inside. 416 ss guard, white corian handle.

This one is not for sale. :)

Thanks for looking, and as usual, all comments welcome.

VERY nice work Phillip. All look great but that laminate is KILLER.

Perhaps you better sell it though, cause without that loctitie....it may DE-laminate:D

Very nice work Phillip. Getting a pro shot done of that fighter was a good idea, as the terrific piece is now shown to full effect. Love it. And I think the laminated chef's knife turned out VERY well indeed, though I worry about long-term performace without glue to hold the layers together. :p

Phillip, you nailed it with that laminate! And so cool of Burt to share his process.

Those stainless/carbon laminate blades have obvious performance benefits, they look super cool, and are still extremely unique among western bladesmiths. Even though Burt would surely shrug it off as no big thing, his WIP detailing that process and his generous sharing of knowledge has been a tremendous gift to the bladesmithing community. Nice to see good makers such as yourself putting it to good use. :)
 
Your laminated kitchen knife is a real beauty Mr Patton, I love the hamon effect you achieved in the process!
 
Philip, I love them all, but for some reason that first one is my favorite. What size is the blade and OAL? The second hunter is a close second.

Paul ;)
