January 31, 20197 yr This folder with locking liners has a damascus blade with approximately 300 layers of O2 and 75Ni8. 6Al4V liners and the scales are buffalo bone .It has an additional titanium lock and the locking spring is made from high carbon spring steel 1.1274. Blade measures 93 mm and 212 mm overall length, etched in instant coffee. Again another semi industrial made damascus steel from my old friend and colleague Achim Wirtz http://www.lohmann-stahl.de/1/contact/ I expected that the pattern would look like rain drops but it looks more like wall bricks, mignon filets and dwarf heads...I like the pattern a lot. Cheers
January 31, 20197 yr That is a wild pattern with lots to look at. Even the waves on thd spine look great in the closed view. Looks like a precision tool and work of art.
January 31, 20197 yr I love the pattern, high contrast and distinct. Beautiful all round and what I think of as a good working knife size. Frosty The Lucky.
February 25, 20197 yr Author A pouch made from cow leather and lined with calf skin makes it complete. Cheers
February 25, 20197 yr In general I prefer monosteel blades but Achims Damascus is always something special. There seems to be more than two steels in this Damascus: The black O2 the silver 75Ni20 and the grey perhaps 1.2519 or 1.2442 or ...? Willy p.s.I I admire your work.
February 27, 20197 yr Author Hi Willi, it is actually indeed only two steels. On the pictures it is very deceptive, but with the knife in real it is obvious to see that it is only two colored. Thanks Willi!....
June 12, 20197 yr Wow thats a beautiful blade i really like that pattern but does anyone else see the faces in the pattern in that last pic of the blade
