My first attempt at a damascus knife
« on: August 04, 2008, 09:15:00 PM »
Here's my first attempt at damascus and stabilized maple burl:

 

 

Sorry for the poor picture quality.... This one is raindrop damascus pattern. Hope you all like.

P.S. Thanks to Robtattoo for the idea of a crossdraw sheath.

Mostly the pic... poor lighting... it's etched pretty deep... but I didn't do the etching... bought the blank from an auction site...

Took another one at a better angle to show the pattern better... these things are a pain to photograph!
