Title: Hawk knife!!!
Post by: Marblesonac on February 29, 2008, 07:15:00 PM

I traded Rick Dumas a recurve for a knife that he would make me.  I gave him very little info to go on, as I like to let artists do their thing.

I just saw the pictures of the knife:

The knifemaker takes 3 bars of different damascus welds them together for a different pattern effect.

I am very happy with the way it came out!

Oops, Rick is good friends with John and Wei Lonewolf.  John did the blade, Wei did the scrimshaw.  The design was Ricks.  I had no idea what I would get when I made the deal.  I just asked Rick to "make it a fair trade".  Until I saw the pictures last night, I still had no idea what it would look like.

Thanks for the kind words, John, Rick and Wei all seem to know what they are doing    :cool:
