wieland Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 hi all, this one was made for a customer, who prefers knives, which are ´a bit longer´... W1 forged wrought iron desert ironwood 33cm total 20cm blade only 6,0-2,0mm thickness thanks for looking! gerhard My Webpage ceterum censeo ferrum esse cudendum! gerhard a.d. 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george ranier Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Awesome! That blade is just so perfectly shaped. A few questions if you don't mind - how did you groove the butt cap and guard pieces, and what is going on towards the spine of the blade just below the forge finished area? It looks like another hamon up there, especially in the last pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Stephens Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I have always greatly admired your work. This is no exception. --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...
wieland Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 thank you all for your kind posts! @george ranier, the butt cap and the other parts are grooved with small round jewelery-files. this curved line directly under the scale-section seems to be a decarbonated (right term??) surface-area. for sure not a second hamon- unfortunatelly...:-((( best regards gerhard My Webpage ceterum censeo ferrum esse cudendum! gerhard a.d. 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
