Something different... and cute
« on: February 13, 2014, 12:27:00 AM »
Here is one I've had in mind for a while. A couple years ago Mark Zalesky had a couple antique Samuel Bell knives at a knife show in San Antonio. I was really intrigued by them and have been playing around with the idea ever since. Well recently a buddy gave me some pieces of MOP and ivory and that started the ball rolling but it's probably still been 8 months getting done.

Forged from 1/2" round W2, notice that cute little hamon, integral with a couple spacers to separate the Mother of Pearl. 6"oal but more work than some big knives...  ;)  Just a fun different little piece.

   
     

Thanks for looking

Very nice Doug.

You will enjoy seeing the Sam Bell knives at the museum. The museum will stay open after the show till 8:00 after the show on Saturday evening to allow show goers to be there. Bring your camera.

Beautiful little knife Doug!  I like the MOP every so often, the Spanish notch is a nice detail!

I am also really intrigued by those old knives. This is a fine one, Doug. Out of curiosity, how did you attach the MOP? I'm liking how you chose to file that notch-subtle  :) .
