Thanks guy's for all the nice words.

A while back I posted a large fluted dagger and this one is the little brother. my Damascus of 1080 and 15n20. I made this using a new way of treating the fittings so they are darker. Blade length is 5 1/4 inches overall is 10 1/4 inches. All Damascus fittings with African Blackwood. Very...

Most excellent. Beautiful in every way.

Thanks guy's. I just love making daggers. Well Bowies too, oh and .......Oh heck, I just love to make knives. Thanks again, sure makes me feel good.

Please put me in. Always love to try new steel.

Here is a dagger I just completed. My Damascus of 1080 and 15n20. All fittings are same Damascus. Handle is African Blackwood that is double spiral fluted. Sharp and big. Blade is 10 1/2 inches and overall is 16 1/4 inches. Hope you folks like it.

I would not do it. Shoud be easy to find a better form. Check with an air cond, company for a empty refridgerant can. They just throw them away.

Good job. Nice , clean and crisp. Very nice looking knife.

Here is a tip I got from Bladeforum. Get a chunk of beeswax, and coat the dies when they get warm. Something about the burned beeswax keeps the flux from fusing with the steel dies. If you do get some flux buildup, just tap with a hammer and it flies right off. It will require recoating a few...

Nice knife Nick. Shows a lot of expertise.

Thanks Ed. Bummer, I was really wishing there was some magic here. Well you saved me the effort of getting high dollar steel. Again, thanks.

I just got the 24 ton press from Riverside machine. Did some upgrades on it before I ran it such as hydraulic fluid filters and a air breather filter. Then a better on and off switch as it came wired with a 120 on and off switch that just turns off one 110 supply on the 220 motor (leaving one...

Thats just tooo neat. You could call it a Pinky knife? (Pinkerton)

Thanks folks. So many folks are down on nickel silver. I do think for this knife it is right. I thought long and hard about using Damascus but did not think it would be right.

Here is one that took some time to make. Actually, the sheath took longer than the knife. It is for a great guy and a surprise. I hope he likes the style. It is my damascus of 1095 and nickel (San Mia). Nickel silver fittings and pre-ban elephant ivory. Blade length is 5 1/8 inches and over all...

Really neat. Shows great creativit2thumbsy.

Thanks guy's. The pommel was done on a lathe with an indexing system and I have a router that fits in the lathe and just cut the flower with a small bullnose cutter. It really is very easy (with the right tools).

Here is one I just completed for a client. Its a big one. Blade length is 9 3/4", width is 1 1/2" and total length is 15 3/4". All Damascus fittings with the blade being San Mia of 1095 and Damascus is 1095 and nickel. Sambar stag.I have a bunch of hours in this one but it was fun to build...
