Somthing out of the ordinairy

[xuesheng]

Deryk Munroe is well know for his creative, tactical folder designs. Here is a very rare forged, fixed blade of his. A tanto in 1084/15N20 with an OAL of 10" and a 5" blade. It's quite unique and quite nice.

I agree. Creative, Unique.
Kind of rustic, but then not.
I like it.
Thanks for posting.

What was done to get the non-beveled parts of the steel that texture? It looks like some pitted moonscape. Incredible.

Definitely off the beaten path and I definitely dig it. Thanks for the look.

I may be wrong but I would think they are hammer marks.

You're kidding ... wow. When I think hammer marks, that's not the image I get. Learn something new every day. Awesome.

No sheath..... yet....

That is the rough forged steel left unfinished. Mostly hammer marks but I imagine other factors play into creating the texture related to heating, cooling,... For similar work take a look at Matt Lamey, Adam Desrosiers, Jason Knight... Each of them does some rough forged work. I like the look quite a bit in this piece.
