kbaknife Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Here's a Sambar Stag and Rados Damascus hunter destined for deer hunting in Texas! I forged this from a chunk of Jerry Rados' Random Damascus of W2 and 203E variety. I always get Jerry to make me pieces of his Random extra thick so I do a LOT of forging to get the blade to shape. This creates and unbelievable amount of 3-D Voodoo in the blade after hot-bluing. The Take-down fittings were made from mild steel stock, mirror polished and then hot-blued to "Black Glass"! Handle is a Premium Sambar taper. "Ivory" portions of the Stag brought to 1500 grit and then polished. Overall length is 10 1/4" with a 5 3/4" blade. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it.

Sam Salvati Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I have seen Jerry's random pattern, it reminds me of like quilted maple guitar necks and stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
