Very thin slicer

[J. Doyle]

I just finished this little knife up that I started over the holidays to just blow off some steam and kill time in between the various parties and outings.

It is a very thin overall and thin edged pure slicer. It is made from .090" thick 1084/15n20 Damascus in a woodgrain pattern. 7" overall, 3 1/4" blade. Rounded spine. Desert ironwood scales and carbon fiber pins. Only 3/8" thick at the thickest point, very end of the handle.

Here is a short Instagram video of it:

John - You make simple look difficult...

Very nice! What did you use for pin material? At first glance I thought you had hidden the pins.

He said carbon fiber.

That's a nice one John, the blade pattern reminds my of an old black and white TV on the fritz.

Very clean work. The damascus and the Ironwood go well together.

Thanks Dennis. Yes....I quite often take something simple and make it difficult.

Thanks.

Lol.......could call it "Fried Tubes" pattern.

I think half of all the shows I watch on the TV are oldies in black and white. I remember having to actually get up to change the channel and adjust the rabbit ears. Your going to have a real nice sheath for that soon too right?

Yes, it will have a sheath.....not made by me. And that's the best part.

Call it fishfinder. Looks like the screen. I like the way that the wood continues the pattern. You could turn that into a reasonably priced model. You could make a fair number of blades like that with one billet. Like 10 minimum.

I see the fish finder screen now.

Yeah I got enough of this billet for 3 or 4 more blades and it wasn't a huge billet to start with.
