A couple of Damascus knives
« on: September 02, 2016, 12:28:00 AM »
I've made less than 200 knives, but I decided to go all out with these and see what I could do.  One of them has mammoth tooth and buffalo horn. The other has desert ironwood and dyed/stabilized boxelder.  I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.
