Loneforge Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Made for a friend out west. Electricians he works with loved it and I have more to make! What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Looks a heck I a lot nicer than the factory ones I've seen. Fine looking knife any way you look at it, I especially like to see the notch wear th blade transitions to the tang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoRockNazz Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Perfect mixture of beauty and practicality. What're the steels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loneforge Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 My typical blend of 1084,1095 and 15N20. They work well for me Theo so I stick with it! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windancer Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I love it when people USE tools. I worked with computers the last 25 years of my working career and most of the tools available were made for tiny little hands and were very flimsy. I made myself a set from Damascus that lasted until I retired. When I left I had everyone put their name in a hat and drew a name for each tool. The winners all had big smiles. Could have probably sold 100 sets but after 1 or 2 of anything [except roses and a few other flowers] it ain't fun, it's work. Nice tool!

Loneforge Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Zactly Dave I'm doing a handful of these and then I'll quit. I don't want to be a factory, I want to be a craftsman. I'm liking this little project as it helps me with fit and finish. Limited run on these and that's it. I made one for my buddy who is an electrician and all his workmates loved it. I managed to get a few knife commissions from it so it's a plus. Cool idea on the tool draw! Any pics of the tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 My typical blend of 1084,1095 and 15N20. They work well for me Theo so I stick with it! Cheers Another display of beauty, Darren. I know what you mean on the materials. I want to try some other blends, and I've done some canned damascus but the pallet strapping and band saw blade gave me good luck from the get-go. Besides; the price is right :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinobi Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 forgot to ask you earlier, what exactly is the green material that you used? some kind of plastic as an insulator? really nice work as always :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loneforge Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 The Green material is Micarta. Thanks for the compliments guys! Much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstar.esq Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Very cool. It would make me very happy to know something I'd made was in constant use by a tradesman. Long term I'd love to tackle similar projects extended to damascus linemans pliers, needle nose, scissors, etc. During a block party a Carpenter told me he'd love a damascus hammer. I suspect that a guy making professional quality damascus hand tools would find a small but dedicated market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 sadly most people after saying they want a damascus hammer, change their minds when I offer them one and see its $1200 price tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loneforge Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 3 More, Lacewood, Ziricote, and Black Walnut. One with Ziricote has a Rosewood linen Micarta Guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
