The Trebuchet...

Here is another piece I soon will be bringing to the Show in Helsinki, Finland.

It is one of my favorite knives I have made to date since it is a new approach for me in a few ways.

The knife is Twist patter Damasteel with a "Dremel-lathed" bronze rod countersunk into the handle.

The stand is bronze witha base made from the same piece of steel as the knife itself. Base is leather-lined.
It holds the knife at the very tip in a leather lined Damasteel "bead" and with a strong magnet. This makes it easy to handle the knife, yet it holds it securely in place.
The angle the blade is held at is infinitely adjustable with the matching small custom made torx tool I made for it.

Must say I really enjoyed making this set as it was all made by hand and it was challenging to come up with the solutions for the idea I had in my head.

I guess you could call it a "scalpel" in an adjustable stand... but I choose to call it Trebuchet.

That may be one of the coolest knife / display stand combos I have EVER seen. Would love to have that on my desk. Great job.

Beautiful and fancy desk knife !
Your mark which is always on your sheath can be found as stand.
 
The only thing that could POSSIBLY make this even cooler, would be a coil spring and a trigger launch release. Aim it at malefactors as they approach or retreat.

Numbered set of 1000?? Yes, count me in, too. :) I'll take 007, Magnus. :)

Your mind is healthy.

you do us all proud my friend.
 
Very cool!

But I question if the blade will develop a magnetic attraction?
 
This is really cool knife-art! Not a bad idea to "mass produce" something like this. I think there would be lots of knife people interested in something like this. I know I would.
