February 14, 201115 yr The first knife inspired another custom order and this one turned out even sweeter in my opinion! The twist has a higher layer count this time per customer request, and the ivory on this one is so phenomenal that tusk was grown with a knife handle in mind! Oal: 8" Blade: 3 12" Thanks for looking and God Bless
February 15, 201115 yr Author wow that pattern turned out beautyfully what steels were used? Thanks josh, I use 1095 and 15n20
February 15, 201115 yr Thanks josh, I use 1095 and 15n20 wow it lookes amazing, is the 1095 naturally black? what do you etch with to get such clear patterns?
February 16, 201115 yr Author wow it lookes amazing, is the 1095 naturally black? what do you etch with to get such clear patterns? Josh are you asking if the 1095 is black before etched? because no its not, that is a result of the etching process. I use ferric chloride to etch all of our blades.

February 27, 201214 yr I know its been said, but thanks for sharing your excellent work and knowledge.
June 17, 201214 yr Incredibly nice folder, from the selection of cabochon, to the selection of pattern weld metals of the Damascus, to the twist in the pattern, to the handle selection, the ivory grew into the handle it seems, to the fine filework along pattern Damascus backspacer...just incredible, thank you for show it.
July 3, 201214 yr My first post, but I wanted to say that seeing the beauty of knives like this is what's inspired me to get into smithing. Thanks for sharing.
