Sub-hilt fighter

Toni Oostendorp · Apr 15, 2007

For an American customer I made this recurved sub-hilt fighter. Steels used for the Damascus are 1.2842 (O2) and 75ni8. For the guards I used c60 which I cold blued. Ebony for the grip and nickel silver spacers. The knife is rather quick in the hand.

I would like to thank my good friend Gudy for letting me use his air hammer. Man that saves time!

Ok here are some pics:

Nice results! I think it turned out well and your customer should be very pleased with that knife.
