Twist damascus Snakewood & Green Maple Hunter
« on: February 24, 2009, 08:51:00 AM »
Here is one I just finished. A nice twist damascus blade with snakewood and dyed maple divided by a white spacer. The guard is nickel silver with a mosaic pin. The blade is 4-1/8" with a 3-1/2" cutting edge. OAL is 9". Enjoy!

I like how the spine looks on that.
Good job.
Do you now what the steel types are?

When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

The blade maker says...125 layers of 1095 carbon steel and 15N20 Nickel steel. He calls it high contrast twist.

Gotcha.
Knowing the steel types will effect the way you harden and temper the blade.
That's a good combination of steels.

A couple of questions, please.  What kind of wood is the natural-color spacer? Also: Did you dye the handle, or purchase it? May I ask the source/link?
