Migration Era Viking
Dagger

The
blade on this one was made
to have a different pattern on each
side (twist interrupt offset). Where
there are straight sections on
one side, the opposite side is twisted.
Each of the four core bars contain
9 layers of C1095 and 15N20 and
the edging is 153 layers of C1095
and 15N20.
The
main guard and rear guard are high
density straight laminate Copper
and Nickel Silver Mokume with
Beng Burl spacers. The Pommel is
straight laminate Copper and Nickel
Silver Mokume. The ferrules
are an elongated twist Mokume and
the grip is also Beng Burl.

San Mai
Fighter
|
The
blade is 6 layers of 1095 and 15N20.
Not layered alternately but instead
two pieces of 1095 on either side
of two pieces of 15N20 as to sandwich
the 15N20 in the middle.
The
blade is about 7.5 inches long at
just under 3/16 thick and overall length
of about 12 inches. Single twist
damascus guard, African Blackwood
spacer/ferrule and Beng Burl
handle.
She
is differentially heat treated so the
blade has alot going on in it for being
a very simple pattern weld. It
has the San Mai look plus some extra
layers and a temper line.

Damascus
Letter Opener
|
These
little letter openers are made from
C1095 and 15N20 tool steel. The
pattern is called twist interrupt.
At
the widest point, the blade measures
1.0 inch. Handle material is
Amboyna Burl and are attached with
hidden pins.
These
make great gifts, especially when
matched with a Damascus pen!

and pure nickel.
The
handle pins are Mosaic Pins and the
tang is fully tapered. Beng Burl
scales.

Turkish
Twist Dagger
|
The
Blade on this dagger is a six
bar Persian/Turkish twist pattern
made out of high carbon Damascus
steel.
The
pattern is developed by individually
twisting each bar and
then forge welding them together
to form the blade. This particular
example has six bars in
the blade. The
handle is wrapped with phosphor
bronze and iron wire with
phosphor bronze ferrules. The
guard and pommel are fire colored
steel.
The
Blade is 10 inches long and has
an over all length of 15 inches.
I
can do just about any Damascus pattern
you wish.
