oma-god do want pricey?
lol, you have really good taste bro.
that sold for $1800....pretty much because of the mammoth ivory.
and that pattern is pretty rare also.

lol i thought the same thing as Im_Doomed when i saw it

good job, Parker.

btw, what happened to that thread that (i think) TeddyJimmy posted about those swords and knives his relatives had given him. this reminded me of it, and it was also epic.

sharp things are ftw tbh

Is the Damascus patterning hard to form? I remember reading an article about it.

Looks , my STL buddy.

it all depends on what type of pattern.
that checkerboard pattern is a HUGE pain in the ass, and therefore, i charge accordingly.

however, most patterns are not so intricate.

start with two pieces of metal....say, .025 thick....one 1095 carbon steel, the other 15N20.
ok, so the first thing is to get them up to temp....let them hang out in a forge until they are at welding temp.
once they get there, take them out, put borax on (reducing carbon), and hammer them until they weld.....this needs to be done VERY quickly as the steel cools rapidly once its out of the forge.
as you hammer, you can decide what pattern you want to do....twist is just how it sounds....you take that billet that you welded together, put tongs on both ends, and CAREFULLY twist that motherfucker as much as you can.

grind to shape, etch....and bingo bango, you got yourself damascus.

it is kind of a pain in the ass, so i try to pick one day, and get as much done as i can.

https://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/parkercustoms/Knives250.jpg

440C stainless.
that mother of pearl is the real deal....exhibition/jewelers grade mother of pearl.
if i were going to sell that, it would go for at least $200 cause of the cost of pearl......some of the most fun ive had making a knife.

Now that's a knife.

What's the semi-circle at the end of the blade/near the handle for?

Parker: isteal; +1,452|6623|The Gem Saloon

thats for your finger.
i tried a few different variations, but with that finger groove there, you actually get a balance point while you are chopping. the handle provides a counterweight, so it works pretty good.
glad you like it man.
