Something a bit different

[Don Hanson III]

A large dagger.

10.5" blade, Damascus fittings, pretty nice mammoth ivory, 16" oal.

What ya'll think?

 

[tomh]

Wow Don, just freaking awesome.

 

[Jos]

Fantastic!:thumbup:

Kind regards,

Jos

 

[Jon Brand]

Holy S**t!!

Hammer marks or just an illusion?

 

[Peregrin]

That's a stunning dagger! The blue mammoth ivory really sets off that beautiful Damascus.

 

[snorkem]

i think the title for this thread should have been something a bit AMAZINGLY AWESOME

 

[Burt Foster]

Geez Don, that's beautiful! With all the mosaic damascus and powder metal and EDM damascus and whatever else the new thing is, it can be easy to forget how amazingly beautiful an exceptionally done random pattern can be.

Nailed it.

 

[Nebulae]

wow usually I dont like "somthing different", but that is stunningly beautiful

 

[Kevin Jones]

WoW! That's something.
Like everything about it, especially the blade profile and finial treatment.

Great ivory, is that from the Roland Quinby stash?

 

[Lorien]

!!!SICK!!!

 

[Steve Nuckels]

Wow, I looked at that image for a log time to digest all those amazing details!

Impressive!

Thanks folks!

Jon, no hammer marks, just damascus pattern

Burt, I've done all the mosaic and power stuff but still like a good random as good as any. Thanks man!

Kevin, different, secret source. But I do have some of the 'Roland Quinby stash' also.

[Bill Burke]

verrrry nice Don. But where is the Hamon?

 

[BRTATCK]

Really nice one Don and I have to agree with Burt. Great blade.

 

[Don Hanson III]

Bill, got to change up sometimes. Maybe a hamon on the next one

Thanks again, folks!
