Three Damascus knives (pic heavy!)



This first one is already sold. It's got an Elk antler handle. The guy who bought it liked the sheath and wanted me to make a belt with the same design. I told him I had never made a belt before but I'd give it as shot.



























This next one is also sold already. This one has a buffalo horn handle with mammoth tooth bolsters and red G10 liners. I really like this one. It didn't last long after I posted a picture of it on facebook. I thought about keeping this one, but it went to a good friend, so I'm happy.



The reason I took so many pictures is because it's hard to get the lighting just right.



























This next picture shows my logo, which is hard to see if you're not looking for it. I need to figure out how to get it to show up better on etched Damascus.























This was my first time carving an oak leaf in a sheath. That was fun. I used a real oak leaf to do it, too. I went outside to find one small enough to fit on the sheath. Then I put it under a piece of paper and coloured over it with a crayon so the shape came through, then used that as a pattern.







This next knife is listed in the classifieds. I just finished it today. It's a sharpfinger with Turkish walnut scales. Turkish walnut is kind of expensive, but my brother got me some because he's such a generous soul. I really dig it!







































Isn't that pretty??? I have some more, too!







The sheath has a rattle snake skin inlay.
