Hey everyone,
i finished this one yesterday, and i thought i'd show you some pics. I wanted to make a damascus and mammoth ivory slipjoint, but the idea seemed a bit too flashy for the classic slipjoint pattern, so i made it to look a bit used, patinated. I wanted it to have the old west antique look. I used darker pieces of inner ivory (not the nice snow white stuff), with some nice cracks to add an old look to it. I etched the damascus very deep, and then stonewashed it to cut the contrast out of it. Then just a bit of buffing, and there you go. The liners are relieved stainless, the pivot pin is sterling silver. Damascus backbar that is nice and flush in every position - even the half stop.
Now for some pics:
Thanks for looking,
Ondrej
