Damascus & Walnut Hunter

[J. Doyle]

Here's a sweet little hunter I just finished. This is pretty compact but still a lot of blade and fully capable.

Forged blade of 1084/15n20 Damascus. Black g-10 guardcand collar. Fileworked bronze accents. Oil finished curly Claro walnut handle. 4 1/4" blade, 8 3/4" overall.

Beautiful!!

An ideal size & profile for a hunter, IMO. Stunning.

 

[Doug Lester]

Outstanding. I think that I'd be reluctant to take it out in the field with me for fear of loosing it.

The workmanship and detail in this knife absolutely blows me away, John. Do you make the Damascus yourself, buy billets or what? How did this blade come to be? When I first ran into highly figured walnut like this, I was just mesmerized. What about a sheath, do you make those as well? What do you charge for a knife and sheath of this quality? Just incredible.

Thanks guys.

Thank you. I appreciate your kind words.

I make my own Damascus.

How did this blade come to be?

It's forged crushed w's then laddered. Steels are 1084 and 15n20.

When I first ran into highly figured walnut like this, I was just mesmerized. What about a sheath, do you make those as well?

I have Claude Scott make all my leather sheaths. He is a real pro in the leather work arena and can offer a sheath that really compliments my knives and completes the package.

What do you charge for a knife and sheath of this quality? Just incredible.

I'll send you a private message.
