Hi all,

Just got this one back from Sandy Morrissey. He did a fine job dressing this one.

I did a WIP on this one and here is a link if you missed it,

Click here---> Damascus Integral Bird and Trout WIP


This blade was forged from a very compressed "W" pattern. I started by making a 208 layer billet I then turned it 90 degrees and cut and stacked it to 2048 layers. Scales are Sambar Stag from Chuck Bybee at Alpha Knife supply with peened stainless steel pins.

Blade is 3 9/16" to the plunge cut, the blade width is 15/16", the blade at the bolster is 1/8 thick and has a lot of distal taper, Overall length is 8 1/4".

Took a few quick pictures, will take a few more over the next few days and will add a few here maybe tomorrow.

Hope you all like it.

Thanks guys, glad you like it.

Dan the only way I know how to get the pattern to flow is forge to shape.

Thanks Dozier glad you like it, seems we were posting at the same time.
