Have not posted anything in a while, thought I would throw these two out there. Custom order for a friend in N.C. Matched pair of clip point and small horizontal carry drop point.
 
Blades are 99 layer voodoo (left –then right twist) 1095-15N20 damascus, roughly forged to shape, ground, oil quenched tempered twice. 304 stainless bolsters-pins-guards, All peened . Brass inserts in guard that do not show up in photo – once again phone photo challenged.  I tried a bit of file work on the backs, need to practise that some more. Used black epoxy to fill around scales and tang. Scales are lacewood that I stabilized with epoxy under vacuum.

Sheaths are 9-10 oz cowhide. I used a tri-weave stamp for tooling and swiped black dye over the high spots in one direction before dying the entire sheath. Gives a different look. As always comments/suggestions welcome. Matt

pretty nice, I like the drop point better.

Thanks, I have working on those little horizontal carry drop point designs for several years. Sort of an alternative to a pocket knife.

 

Photo on this one looks a bit asymmetrical, it is just my lack of photography skills.
