hammerforged Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Sweet blade - did you make the Damascus? What is the mix in the Damascus? Nice filework as well. Beautiful Maple scales - are they stabilized? Love the Mosaic Pins - did you make them? What is the overall length and length of the blade?

Yes, this was from damascus I purchased made of 15N20 and 1095. Spalted maple is stabilized and AOL 8.5 inches. The mosaic pins I buy because that would be a full time job making those as it is. I found some others that are hollow in the middle that I've used on the following knife I call the Cowboy Skinner and did some rope file work - still fine tuning the finger slots with some more sanding to shape.

Shaun_300 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Cool looking knife! I wouldn't mind doing that someday, takes a lot of work and patience though I bet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 They are beautiful... one day I want a custom knife to carry either in my pocket or deer woods. Damascus is by far my favorite, love those blades... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawg7 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys!hammer - I get the damascus from a fella in Ontario - he doesn't do enough to sell in bulk but I get a note when he has some done and grab em up. Working on a "bird & trout" one right now I'm starting to see some potential for....will post a new pic when it's done...but here's one of two more almost finished up last night Edited October 11, 2011 by Hawg7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawg7 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) new knife - amboyna burl with mosaics and damascus bladeI'm always amazed after you polish wood how beautiful the grain can be and the colors - I know it's grown by a creative designer Love amboyna so I tried it on this cowboy style hunting blade. It needs to go back to the cratex wheel and buffed again to get some fine scratches out. I did some filework that's suppose to symbolize "He is the branch, I am the vine" with the vine coming out of the cross - not sure it can be seen in this photo though. Thanks for the kind words all - it's a joy to work on these... Edited October 13, 2011 by Hawg7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
