utility with ´curly´ hamon

[wieland]

hi all,

this user was built on order.

I should clean up my forge again:
seems, the blade cought an infection during the quench...
but that sickness has an interesting look-

some specs:
W1 forged
bronze-guard
masur-birch crosscut
23,5cm, lade only: 12cm
3,6-1,5mm thick
sheath lefthand

Wunderbar! Nice seeing you again, Gerhard!

 

[wieland]

thank you all for posting, I`m glad you like my knife!

@scott,
I wished I could cast these things...
but I have to ´carve´ them out of a big block of bronce.

@ erik,
jep, it was great to meet you again and have a little knife/canoeing-chat!

Well you should try out the Delft clay that I've been playing with. But.. You need to melt it first! I'm still working on that myself.

Very nice work....

Exceptional as always!

That sculpted guard in between the relatively simple handle and blade just works out well.

 

[NickWheeler]
