Tigerlily (sort of damascus)

[Burchtree]

I had to get some frustrations out so I decided to hand pound a verrrrrrrry low count damascus blade a few weeks ago. I finally got to finish her up. It was three pieces of 1095 put together with some thin L6 with a few twists. Did a clay quench and it came out pretty interesting (I'm easily amused too though. ) The pics don't really capture it much - I have a hard enough time getting pictures of hamons.

Thanks for checking her out.

It's certainly a weird looking pattern but I definitely like the looks of the knife.

Hey, send that one along with my other one and I will be glad to test her out for ya!

I like it. That pattern welded steel sure looks different than what you normally see.

Nice, i like it. Looks like Strider's Tiger stripes pattern but this one has natural stripes instead.... The name definately fits it...

Man, you're moving ahead in leaps and bounds. If thats what you do when you're upset, hell, I'd hate to say it ...

Interesting to see the differences in where the 1095 and the L6 hardens with the clay. Thats a lesson in metallurgy all by itself.

Oh BTW, I WANT THAT KNIFE !! I'm serious. Jason.
