TheoRockNazz Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I put this knife together pretty fast out of two fun side projects/experiments that ended up working out together. The cast bronze guard was the big sister to my nuts-n-bolts canister damascus from before, and the damascus a pattern experiment. The pattern didn't turn out as planned, but it's still a lot of fun (especially if you throw a hamon over it). Handle is stabilized burl with cast brass medallion and pins.

Daswulf Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Turned out as very cool and original as you do. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc1 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Wow ... that is such a nice intricate pattern Care to explain how you did it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Moffett Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Beautiful piece, though I can't say that handle looks too comfortable. Correct me if I'm wrong!?!? Of course, it would have been a lot harder to do the inlay if it wasn't flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoRockNazz Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thanks guys! The pattern was supposed to be a modified basketweave where each repeat was kind of like a blocky spiral... didn't work but still fun! The medallion actually acts to round off the handle and fill the palm of the hand. The edges are all softer than they look. It's actually quite comfy... despite the fact it's probably rarely going to be used... the sad part of art knives I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrow Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 My favorite part is the cast brass elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foundryman Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 The pattern on the blade is cool, but the handle is just stunning, great choice of materials! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
