A few knives finished for Blade Show

[Pete Crowl]

I'm finishing up my knives for Blade Show so I thought I'd post them as I complete them.

The 1st is a little hunter I call the T model. It has a forged 3 and 1/2 inch blade of 1084 steel.

The 4 inch handle is some homemade spalted maple that was stabilized by Mike at Wood Lab. The guard is 416 stainless.

The next is a damascus B model hunter. I made all the damascus. The blade is 3 and 7/8 inches long. It is 336 layers of 1084/15 N 20 damascus in a slow twist pattern. The guard and butt cap are made from the same bar. The spacer is 118 layer 1084/15 N 20 damascus with a little file work.

The photo doesn't show the pattern very well. I'm not a photographer.

The handle is a VERY nice piece of stag, 4 and 3/8 inches long.

Thanks everyone for looking.

Tom, yes this is a model I reproduce.

Here is another hunter.

The Blade is damascus made of 1084 and 15 N 20 in a twist pattern. 336 layers,3 and 3/4 inches long.

The guard is a piece of the same damascus.

The handle is a nice walrus tusk. I added a mosaic pin for a little extra.
