Knife #666- canister damascus subhilt

[jkf96a]

This is my 666th knife. It's the first one I've finished out of canister Damascus, the "trashcan" or "fossil" variety made of billet ends and scraps with powder. It's also the first subhilt I've done. Fittings are the same fossil Damascus billet as the blade, and the handle is gidgee. Top swedge isn't sharpened, but could be.

Excellent work. So how long have you been making knives! Either you turn them out quickly or you have been at it for many years.

12 years at least. I've averaged 50-60 a year, but did 80 last year.

That's amazing and a couple of knives a week!

Jason, your knives always have such interesting elements to them. The damascus pattern of the blade carried through into the guard and subhilt is very nice.

And after a little bit of Jim Cooper's wizardry...
