Geoff Keyes Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I've been working hard, but not much seems be getting off the bench. I did get a couple of little guys done, however. First, a couple of kiridashi. These are for an old friend (not that she's old, mind you, but I've known her for a long time). She scratch builds set pieces for war gamers. 1084 and osage. The second is a kiridashi hideout, purse knife, whatever. Damascus and fossil bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Very nice, Geoff! I especially like the way you have the pattern size scaled to the blade size on the pw'd blade. *Details* make the project :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Keyes Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 In some sense that is an accident. The pattern is a basket weave, and the original billet was really low layer, 7 IIRC. It was part of a failed experiment. When I made the piece I had to forge it down from a 1.5" x .250 slab, which distorted the pattern lengthwise and compressed it. I have two more pieces in the works, a gents bowie and a full size bowie. The patterns are very different one piece to the next. But thanks in any case.

LastRonin Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 In some sense that is an accident Accident or not, I really think it makes the pw and the fossil bone's patterns work very well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
