Robert Mayo Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Well here is my first attempt at going 3d on my handles. As usual 15n20 & 1095 damascus. The o.a.l. is 6 1/4" with a 3" clay hardened blade. Thanks for looking. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Martin Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Great Job Robert, another great knife. Like how the knife and sheath correspond to each other, just like your cross one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Martin Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 You are amazing. Do you have cutouts or is that all hand done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonjic Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Robert, Very Nice clean looking damascus. This is my second attempt, the 1st had a delamination. Its a 10" o/a bowie 01 & mild. ( 7 layers, 2 folds, gentle twist, and another fold for good measure) Im really looking forward to getting some 15n20 - the contrast is amazing in the blade, the one posted above has only had 1/2 hour in vinegar (its only very rough ground and still awaiting H.T at the mo.) 'mascus seems to be a bit addictive though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Mayo Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Thanks John but i did not make the damascus it is from Craig Barr. I have been going through a bout of tennis elbow so i have not been forging for a few weeks. But i cannot stay away from knifemaking so i am doing these. That is a great looking knife and nice job on the damascus i look forward to seeing it finished, make sure you show us. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonjic Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Robert, you could always come over to the dark side & use a power hammer or press?? (or learn to forge left handed.... If I finish it Ill post some proper photos (not taken on my phone!) , ive not ground it proper yet as im waiting on a couple of dvd's on techneque to arrive - Ive busied myself tooling up a press for 'mascus work today (15 t fast acting hydraulic), with a tool carousel - then ive got a 'KMG' to copy for my next project. im getting a bad addiction! I understand its bad form to mention other forums, in a forum, but cant see the harm... if youve not checked it out already have a looksy at britishblades.com some very talented & friendly folks there, and some amazing knives and damascus being made! (its quite international, but based in the uk, if that makes sense!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
