4-bar construction, p-weld kindjal

Hello Everyone,
I have made a traditional style kindjal, with two twisted bars in the center under the fuller, and two straight laminate bars outiside of those, with monosteel 1080 edges. The pattern-welded portion is 15n20 and 1080.

This blade is 12" long, with a 6" handle. Curly maple. The bolster and pommel plate are both damascus, from same billet as blade.

This is a traditional handle and blade form. This shape is derived from the gladius, and is an central to the heritage of the Caucassas mountains through Turkey.

I am asking $400. Please send me a personal message if you are interested. If you are serious, make me an offer.

Thanks for looking,

Kevin

Jim - if you are interested, I can make a wooden sheath out of curly maple. Maple with either steel or copper reinforcements at throat and chape.

Hello Kevin,
Nice work.
I live in Berlin , Ct.
My sister lives in Cheshire. Do you do your own damascus??
JZ

yes - I do all of my own work - every knife starts as a pile of steel shims, a board and usually something like a heating pipe or something for a source of copper or brass.
I recently broke down and bought a hydraulic press to help with making damascus.
