Scott Taylor Memorial Scholarship Knife for 2008

[Chuck Richards]

For any going to blade Here is one.
Here is the knife I will be donating to the 2008 Scott Taylor Memorial Scholarship this year. It will be Auctioned off during the ABS auction at Blade. All funds earned from this effort are donated to the W.F. Moran school of Bladesmithing. 2 scholarships are available each year. One for the Basic Bladesmithing course and one for Handles and guards.

Knife Stats

Blade 10.875" of 350 layer 1084-15n20 raindrop pattern Damascus. A coin edge heat colored titanium seppa sets off the wrought iron guard. The spacer and butt cap are made of the same 300 layer material as the blade and frame the black dyed and stabilized figured maple handle.

Thanks for looking

Nice one Chuck!

I like the full blade, does coin edge refer to the serrations on a coin?

The fact that you're donating is #1.

Good Job.

[Chuck Richards]

Yes the coin edge has been filed to look like the edge of a coin ie a dime or quarter. Just much more refined. I do not have a good pic of it but I will tr to do one sometime shortly.

Hey Chuck,

Looks fantastic! I hope to get to the Blade Show someday and meet you and your work. You never know, with a little luck it might could happen. Just as, with a little luck I might make it to Texarkana for a blade making class.

Thanks for your generosity!!!!
