Dress Carry
« on: June 10, 2014, 04:24:00 PM »
This is a small knife blade that I just forged from a scrap of my Damascus. I actually squished it in several directions to see what would happen. It turned out nice but the pattern is almost a wood grain.
 It's 3 inches X 5/8 X 1/8. About the size and shape of a pocket knife blade.

So, how would you carry it? Horizontally?

That's awesome.  I love the wood grain look.  It would actually match the grain in the bocote I used on my last knife really well.

Or maybe use curly maple and instead of a ladder Damascus blade with a wood grain handle, you would have a wood grain Damascus blade with a ladder pattern handle.    :D

Love that Damascus, my favorite type of pattern.  Can't wait to see the final product.

I agree with Darcy on the pattern. Really like the slim profile on that blade too. That's going to be a nice all around knife.

Looks great Lin.  Is that at etched makers mark?  It looks crisp, deep and perfect.
