1st knife

[John N]

Ive forged a few bits of damascus over the last couple of months, but never quite got round to finishing a knife,

Well, eventually managed it, its a baby one for a 'knife in the hat' .

Took way longer to make than I thought it would.

I forged the damacus from 15n20 & c20 , handle slabs from a reindeer antler.

quite pleased with how it worked out, but looking forward to finsihing a proper sized one now :


and with my next one to be finished...

Awww that is so cool! When you make the sheath, make it with a rare earth magnet in the tip area, so that you can wear it as a neck knife and it won't come out!

not sure im gonna do a sheath for it, im skilless and time poor.

Ive also got to give the knife away, its one of those 'in the hats' where everyone makes a mini, and then you post them on to each other - ill kinda miss it when its gone, but learnt alot making it (ie never do mini stuff, its much harder ) - Ill get somthing better back for it in exchange im sure !!!

Sweet, exchanges are cool! WHoever get's that little guy will be PLEASED!
