Been forever since I posted - one of my latest
« on: October 06, 2020, 03:00:19 PM »
Been forever since I've posted on here - with work taking up way too much of my time I don't get to shoot my bows nearly enough or work on knives as much as I'd like either.

Had been working on damascus, and finally invested in a press and I've had much better results - surprise, I know.   :biglaugh:

Here's one I finished up a few months back - 52 layers of 1095 and 15n20 with a walnut handle and antler spacer.  Made this one for a family friend (traded for an Assenheimer recurve).

 Nice pattern on that blade......

I, too, like the damascus pattern. Looks like a very useful blade shape. How long is it?

Love the guard.  Sooo many knives short changed by not having one.
