DavidM Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 This is an oyster knife I made to be auctioned off in Delaware for a fallen policeman's family. The steel is from a very large pry bar that i've made a few other things out of and really like. I think its something like 1060. Its about 1" dia...which nearly kills me to work down with my little 2lb hammer. The blade is actually differentially hardened, but I didn't have time to try and bring out the hamon since I only had a couple weeks to work on this. IF you turn the blade and look at it just right, you can still see it. Pins are brass. Scales are cocobolo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cylvre Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 That's beautiful. I love the "bulby" look, it really gives it an organic flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Sorrells Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 That's pretty wood. Always cool to see something a little different on here. Hope it brings a good price for the family of the officer.
