TheoRockNazz Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Carbon steel nuts, bolts, and chopped up gear stock welded in a canister with 1095 and nickle powder, forge-welded-on random pattern 1080 and 1095 cutting edge. Hidden tang ebony handle with 3D printed cast bronze guard and medallions. The Nazz logo is hidden in the medallions. I've been having a lot of fun with canister damascus recently; I think I'll try to perfect this pattern a bit more, I really like where it's going... not quite there yet though, I want to find smaller carbon steel gearstock, nuts, and bolts. Could have welded on the edge a bit more cleanly - next time I think I'll go with a twisted edge, feels more appropriate for the theme.

Daswulf Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Theo, that's one cool looking blade! I can see a lot of awesome potential in patterns with this style. Keep at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Cannister lets you use a lot of weird stuff *and* to place it carefully if you want to. Using a "good" steel for the edge lets you play around a lot more with the sides... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 That's got to be one of the cooler patterns I've seen in a while Leo. Sort of what a wizard would pull out of his junk drawer in a pinch sort of blade. Maybe a blade a transformer would smoosh an opponent into. It brings a lot of stories to mind, I like it.

Anachronist58 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Delightful, Theo. Reminds me of a polished slab of fossil snail conglomerate. Makes me visualize some snail-like wood screw damascus. Kudos to your photographer - really showcases your attention to theme and detail.

BlackMetalViking Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hey Theo, This beaut came up on my Instagram with know reference to you, I hope you don't mind that I gave you a shout out and directed people to your YouTube. There were a lot of amazed people though, I told them if they thought it looked cool, they should wait and see how you made it! Still one of the coolest canister damascus designs I've seen!
