ebony/damascus knife
« on: October 23, 2008, 09:06:00 PM »
Honestly, I fell a little intimidated when I show my knives here, because it seems most of you make your own blades and I still buy mine already made. I'm proud of them nontheless so here is a picture of my latest. Ebony handle with bloodwood liners and a seiki city damascus blade. Homemade mosaic pins. Blade is 3" long and O.A.L. is 7".  thanks, Mike

What matters is your making a good knife. It certainly lives up to that. There's just something about making cutting tools that is so cool. Very nice pins. I'd like to see how you put those together. Lin

Thanks for the compliments, guys. The pins are no big secret at all. I just used some of that star-shaped tubing from hobby lobby and stuck a piece of 12 GA. copper wire into it with black epoxy. I just drilled holes that the tubing fit into real snug and set them in black epoxy. I just didn't put them into the round tube like you normally do. You can't see the round hole even if you look for it(i've tried). This wouldn't work on a colored wood but because the epoxy and ebony are both black, it worked well. I really suspected you would be able to see the round holes at least a little, but you can't! I got lucky!   :D  Thanks again, Mike

Here is another Bodork knife that now belongs to yours truly. If memory serves me correctly it is also a Seiki City damascus blade. Handle is Osage & Ebony with Bloodwood liners and Mike's custom pins. 3-1/2" blade, 7-1/4" OAL. Now my favorite knife!

Well, it used to be my favorite knife. My better half confiscated it as her jerky knife. LOL.
