Rashelle Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) It's been awhile so thought I'd share this. Cable damascus sanmai over 1095 core. Edited May 29, 2017 by Rashelle resize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Looks pretty nice to me. Why does "sharing a knife" sound sinister to me, could it be growing up in Los Angeles? Frosty The Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashelle Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Thank you Das and Frosty. Couple things went wrong with it but I adapted. LOL not like I had a choice. Early on fitting up the handle, drove the tip into the screw on the vice, luckily it was before hardening. It rolled right on up ...... was never the same after that, heehee. On glue up, (everything is pressure fitted, epoxied, and peened) the purple heart must of swelled up from ambient moisture cause it cracked a little, and I put the pommel on inside out. It was going to sweep backwards, but the epoxy was setting up and I got rushed. I had everything laid out in order in orientation, but must of spun it around. Oh well lesson learnt.

lanternnate Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 A mighty fine blade. I think I'd call the pommel a happy accident. They way it ended up it matches the guard in a way that I like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashelle Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Thank you Nate. I forgot to mention the guard and pommel are both cable damascus with brass fittings also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
