gearhartironwerks Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Seasons greetings to everyone. These knives were delivered in the past week to clients. The pressure was a killer as I've never had this many to get out at once. This on top of other ironwork in the shop that needed to be completed. I'm pretty much out of billets and am anxious to get started on more. I hope you enjoy them. Thanks for looking. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearhartironwerks Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Hope you made a good $/hr on them. If I took that into consideration, I'd probably drink more scotch than I do. Wayne Coe said to me a long time ago that if I didn't want to make damascus knives, I should never make the first one. It was/is sage advice. It's an irreversible slippery slope to the dark side. I love it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njanvilman Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 WOW, just wow. Beautiful results. Just great to looks at, even though they are functional. I do not know if I would ever use one that nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearhartironwerks Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 I would like some info on the handles, and mosaic pins. The first is dyed and stabilized amboyna burl. The second, a gyuto is dyed and stabilized mango. A santoku is next and the handle is stabilized maple burl with ebony bolsters. The twin feathers are maple/ebony combos, and the utility is dyed and stabilized maple burl. All were stabilized in Cactus juice in a pressure pot and were done by George House and Barry Minkoff. The pins are from Sally Martin in southern Or. you can Google her. They run about $25./ft. Hope this helps. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Mullins Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Those are simply awesome. I haven't forayed into damascus YET, but I can see how it could become addicting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
