PMARTINKNIVES Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Been a while since I posted so I thought I'd show this comissioned piece. Ironwood handle, damascus, and some serious hours fitting everything together. Thanks for looking. Peter Peter Martin Knives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake cleland Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 omfg. that is the greatest thing i've ever seen you come out with. i usually dislike mosaic damascus for blades, but the monosteel edge really sets that off a treat and the pattern is gorgeous, almost like subtle engraving, and the lines and fit and finish look perfect. is the 'D' guard a seperate piece from the front guard? if so how are they joined?

Rich A. Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I cant stop looking at it. Is the blade blued? everytime I look I find something new. When it first came up I was just locked on the blade. scrolled down and someone mentioned the D-gaurd and I had totally missed it and that was the reason I desided to look at it in the first place. WOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tate Roth Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Outstanding work! The blade is great, but I'm extremely impressed with the handle and guard. Steel is my canvas, a hammer my brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Pyron Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 OMG!!! It almost looks like the freakin guard runs into a slot in the upper bolster and is slotted for the tang to go through both or something??? Good gracious Peter, you're killing us!!!

The solid blue portion of the blade is 360 layer tool steel twist damascus, with no nickel, it looks like mono steel in the photo.
