Thanks for the comments everyone. Today was mostly about fitting the guard and would have taken up most of the day except I could sleep last night (up at 3:30 am) and so I was done fitting it by 7:30 :D Thankfully though I was using bronze which is so wonderfully soft and not as much of a...

I have recently been very inspired by the work of Claudio Sobral and his harpoon points in particular, if you haven't seen his work you need to check it out! This recent inspiration resulted in the idea for a "go mai" harpoon point, go mai being five layers (if I have that correct) as opposed to...

This tomahawk was one I did a few weeks ago as a concept piece for the Axe Junkies Facebook group. The idea of this tomahawk was to create a blending of eras between Europe and Native American/ Aboriginal cultures, combining a flint knapped appearance with the pattern welded steel edge done in...

Sold!

I have a simple gentleman's bowie for sale. This was hand forged from 1084 and clayed to achieve a hamon. The handle is a laminate of stabilized snakewood and curly maple, the lamination is secured by three pins that are composed of copper tubing and stainless steel pins. The knife also has a...

Thanks guys and thanks for taking a look at my website DeMo it's always a pain to try to keep that site working properly...:sad:

Thanks for the comments guys. :)

Several months ago I was approached to do a limited edition line of chef's knives for a small company in New York. After much discussion of design they are almost done, all that remains is for the companies logo to be laser etched into the box lids and the logos (their's and mine to be put on...

Thanks everyone! :)

This one had several firsts for me. I was finally able to get my hands on some W2 for the first time and it was mostly a pleasure to work with. I have a piece big enough to get two knives out of and this was my first one. I did an oil quench on this one but will be trying brine on the next. Also...

I recently finished up this tomahawk that has a bit of character. I gave it a flint knapped texture in addition to a three bar composite for the edge. The steels are 1084 and 15n20 with a 1018 body. The handle I made out of lignum vitae so it will eventually oxidize a greenish color. Then the...

I recently finished this gentleman's bowie forged from a four bar pattern weld of 1084/1095 and 15n20. The guard has a shield of textured copper and the main copper is made of bronze. The handle material is bocote with a leather spacer. The sheath also features inlayed fold formed copper...

Thanks guys :)

Okay everyone here are the professional photos I just got back today. Jim sure does beautiful work! :)

Here is what I have for the front face of the sheath so far.

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

This project was one I had not intended on doing, but in between other projects over the last two days it came together. The blade I forged from a scrap off of a viking sword I am working on and the bronze and copper are also scraps from other projects, the handle is bocote. This blade is only...

This past week I taught my first course at the North House Folk School up in Grand Marais, Minnesota. The topic of the class was the making of a pattern welded puukko knife, handle, and sheath in five days. The course ended up having eight extremely hard working and enthusiastic students a...

Thanks David, and it's typically referred to as a hamon :)

Looking good Kevin!
