Don Nguyen 2 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I've been working on this one for over a year now. Forged and finished from 1084 with Ironwood and Ivory Paper Micarta.I don't think I'll make something again like this for a long time; for me, it was a pretty challenging piece www.facebook.com/donnguyenknives Link to post Share on other sites
GEzell 142 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) Beautiful! Forging and grinding a blade of that size is challenging enough... add to that the thinness, and, well, that wasn't easy was it... Edited June 1, 2014 by GEzell George Ezell, bladesmith" How much useful knowledge is lost by the scattered forms in which it is ushered to the world! How many solitary students spend half their lives in making discoveries which had been perfected a century before their time, for want of a condensed exhibition of what is known."Buffonview some of my work RelicForge on facebook Link to post Share on other sites

Sam Salvati 80 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Very big, very nice, great Job! Let not the swords of good and free men be reforged into plowshares, but may they rest in a place of honor; ready, well oiled and God willing unused. For if the price of peace becomes licking the boots of tyrants, then "To Arms!" I say, and may the fortunes of war smile upon patriots Link to post Share on other sites
Miles Hebbard 2 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Don, I laughed when I saw the title of your post...'Cause I love your chef's knives! You have a unique style, and this is quite something! You are a braver man than I, to atempt something this awsome! ( Just wish I could hold it!!! ) To become old and wise... You first have to survive being young and foolish! Ikisu.blogsot.com. Email; milesikisu@gmail.com mobile: +27784653651 Link to post Share on other sites
