November 1, 200718 yr 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. Bob
November 1, 200718 yr 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.
November 1, 200718 yr 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
November 1, 200718 yr Robert that is truely one of the most simple but beautiful knives I have seen. Can you post a close up of the blade?
November 1, 200718 yr Author Thanks fellows and it looks like that is what i will be doing for the sheath the is the cutout it will look great. Bob
November 1, 200718 yr Author Robert that is truely one of the most simple but beautiful knives I have seen. Can you post a close up of the blade? Thats what i was doing trying to resize pics and post at the same time. Thanks Mike here are some pics of the blade. Bob
November 1, 200718 yr That is probably the most beautiful knife I've ever seen! I'd suggest black leather for a sheath.
November 1, 200718 yr 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
November 2, 200718 yr 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
November 2, 200718 yr I typically refrain from joining in on a 'wow' thread, but I really do like that... As has been said, the design is so simple yet elegant. Nice work. -MJ
November 2, 200718 yr superb.....je thinks that all the templiers of the time tightened proud to have such a beautiful knife.
November 2, 200718 yr Author Thanks for the comments and sheath suggestions, here is what i came up with a little cross draw with a window on both sides from 7-8 oz. veg. tan dyed black. Bob
