Mat Maresch Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Here´s another one I made last year - and I wish I had never given it away... Damascus, ancient walrus ivory and leather, that´s all it needs And some days time, that´s clear. Hope you like it! www.mareschmesser.de Knifemaker, Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Stephens Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 That's really nice! Love the sheath fittings. --Dave -----------------------------------------------"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly." -- Theodore Roosevelthttp://stephensforge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim P Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Beautiful, the ivory looks amazing and goes with the pattern really good. It looks comfortable to hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter johnsson Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I really like that one. Especially appreciate how you work within a set area of shapes and materials, at the same time making something fresh. Strength from structure, energy from original thinking. Great work!

jake cleland Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 beautiful. classy materials, nice details and clean lines. the filework on the bolster and spacer give a simple knife a very regal look. i hadn't even noticed the background until someone pointed it out, but it feels very 'dwarvish' to me, something Thorin would carry on his belt...

Mat Maresch Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Thank you all very much - I´m glad you like it as much as I do The maps were supplied with a german softcover edition of JRRT´s LotR. Somehow they seemed to make the right background for this knife. Though I have to admit they are a bit too bright for photography, wish I had taken something a bit darker for this knife. But, hey - we all see it´s a knife, so it isn´t too bad I guess. Again - thank you all, much appreciated!
