Robert Mayo Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I just could not pull myself to put scales on this one so i cut out the cross to ballance it. This one is 1095/15n20 damascus clay hardened and deep etched. 6 1/2" oal with a 3" blade. Give me some ideas for a sheath folks! Oh and it is ground not hammered! Thanks for looking and commenting.

Rich Hale Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Design, execution, selection of materials are only part of what makes this knife. There is an intangible that can only be described as beauty. What a wonderful piece. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primtechsmith Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Man thats sweet!!! It would look really neat if the cross logo was also cut out of the sheath over the blade...it would be a neat look of showing that beautiful pattern in one place and having it cut out above it in the handle. Hope that makes sense. I just wish I wias the one that made it! Well done! Peyton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt87 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 That is probably the most beautiful knife I've ever seen! I'd suggest black leather for a sheath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Cut out on the lower part of the sheath and a tooled and dyed section on the upper part that will show through the cut out in the handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbob Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 you know if you could take bone or wood and lay the knfe down and cut the bone so the knife handle would snap into the a cross to secure the knife in the case it woul look really neat ...white bone and dark knife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
