Cocobolo on Damascus

[MR2MAN]

This is the fourth knife handle I've made thus far. I have to say that it is my favorite. I'm really happy with the way it came out. I was commissioned to make some knife handles a while back from my girlfriend's father. This is one of them. I will take better photos of all of them later. C&C welcome.

Thanks.

Did you forge the blade or just make the handles?

 

[MR2MAN]

Just the handles. The blades were purchased my girlfriend's father.

Triw51, do you make your own blades? If not, where do you source them from?

Sweet

This second picture really shows the Damascus nicely. Very nice handle too. Thanks for sharing.

That is very beautiful! I love the handle and the steel looks awesome - a winning combination.

I do make damascus blades and billets. Been doing more turning than blade smithing lately (Hot in AZ). The blade in my signature is motercycle chain forged solid

Thank you all for the kind words. I like this hobby so much, I bought 18 more Damascus blades on eBay last night
