the branch Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hello there! Thought I should show you a knife I made last year. It´s made of 3 bars of patternwelded rods. Back is a bar of almost invisible layers of iron (again, shipwreck). The middle is a pretty high layered twisted bar, which I dont remember the numer on, but hey, its how it looks that counts? :P And the cutting edge bar is just a straight laminate with again, shipwreck iron for the sides. Hope you like it and feel free to critique or come with suggestions for handle etc. -Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Hildefuns Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Nice! I especially like the upward curve of the twist bar towards the tip. Lots of character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanshin Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I like the blade. Personally, I like better when the twisted is deeply ground so that it shows the "stars" but this is a very handsome blade!!! I would NOT use an antler for this blade because the shape is very nice and clean... You could try a Hippo tooth, the straight ones, I think that how it usually tapers would nicely fit the shape of the blade creating a fluent shape. And, it is an awesome material!!!

the branch Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Thank you for the nice comments guys! Really appreciate it! =) I´ll probably use blackwood and cherry or just blackwood with maybe some thin silver bolster or similar. Sadly I wont be able to get back to this project before july, so yea. Probably going to post the final blade on a new thread. =) Have a nice day! -Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
