Just finished this custom integral kitchen knife. Hand forged from a 1” round bar of 1095/15N20 “firestorm” pattern welded damascus. The blade is 7 5/8” long (max. width: 1 1/4”) and has an overall length of 12 7/8”. Arizona Desert Ironwood was used for the handle with copper spacers, mosaic pin and an end cap of the same damascus. Full tang construction with the tang peened onto end cap. I hope it is enjoyed for years.

Tried them out this morning and they were a big hit. Thank you for all the support and love. Merry Christmas!
Read MoreI recently finished this “knife set” for a client and now friend. The field knife was hand forged from 1095/15N20 “raindrop” pattern welded damascus. The blade is 2 15/16” long with an overall length of 7 13/16”. Along the entire spine is “twisted rope” hand filework. It has peened brass pins and a central “dog paw” mosaic pin. The handles to both are made from stabilized old growth Pine that came from a family barn in Deepstep, GA built in 1926 and has a lot of sentimental value to the owner. The sheath is by Upland Custom Leather.
The oyster knife was also hand forged, but from 5160 HCS with a 2 2/4” blade and total length of 6 11/16” and has the same configuration.
Pine may be soft but it sure can be pretty. Despite the wood being 92+ years old, when I worked it you would have thought I had opened a bottle of Pine-Sol.
