Another'n Done
« on: February 12, 2013, 05:54:00 PM »
Finished this one up today, it'll be making the trip to Arkansas this weekend. A nice long semi sharpened clip and did some minor whittling on the ivory.  6 1/2" Crushed W Damascus blade, wrought iron guard and Mammoth Ivory handle.

   
   

Thanks for looking!

WOW!!

That's a beauty Doug. I really like the lack of pattern in your Damascus. I hope that's not taken as an insult.

What I mean is that some Damascus looks like a perfect pattern is accomplished, whereas your's is more random and looks more "Natural".

I like that ,Correct size,easy on the eyes!

Carving will get easier as time goes on ,after
you quit think about how many oZ. you are carving away. LOL
I personally like the Dried out Cut up hands of a knife maker.
Keep up the good work, you can probably make one more before the show.  ;)
