Gorgeous :cool: Mad talent!

I love the top one. Very nice indeed.:cert:

Keep your bloody hands off my knife. :toetap:

Please. :D

Awesome work Steve.
You're a fuking master dude. :cert:

Incredible work as always, Mr. Davis. :cert:

Great work. :seasix:

You should not have access to sharp objects.:yesnod:

:seasix: Beauteous.

Love the Damascus steel. Awesome work Steve! Still would love to come check out your operation....Sounds like a good time for a bourbon or three too!

Love the damascus steel!

You think that saying please will get you anywhere? :rolleyes:

Now why do people always tell me that.:island14:

How much $ for #2 & #4 ? Just my preference, but they're all beautiful !
That is some awesome work right there....:clap:

#2 small upswept gents folder $500

#4 small drop pt gents folder $350

Both knives are small with blades around 2 in. +-

:drool:
WOW bubba. They're beautiful.

Beautiful!! #4 is my favorite. So nice. :cert:

OK.
"Now Woman!"

:leaving:

WOW........:D

:yawn: Yes?

I think you missed my first point.

Your job...bloody hands...see where I'm coming from honey. :D :D :rofl:

Beautiful work, were they consignment pieces? How many hours would one of those take? you're getting fancy with the patterns in the steel, very nice.:yesnod:

My hands are never bloody but my gloves can be from time to time. I don't touch anything or anyone without gloves at work.

I'd love a showpiece (Damascus) to hang on the wall. I'll PM you later.

No consignment, they'll be on my table at the knifemakers guild show next month.
Between forging the steel, designing the knife and making it..........I quit counting hours long, long ago, but for those three knives.......the hours would probably start at well over 100+
I'll try and get some pics of my mosaic damascus.......IMHO, Its awesome.

Have you ever done a coat of arms on a handle ? I have both my wife's family and mine. I could see a COA on each handle and a a symmetrical Damascus steel blade.

Pure art and tremendous talent ! :seasix:

Truly a gifted craftsman :seasix: Beautiful work Steve :cool1:

Tremendous work Steve. Beautimous works there. :seasix:

Hmm....maybe he'll trade the first knife for some moose steaks or antlers.

:D

:drool:

:drool: is right DAB. Gorgeous work Master Blademaker! :seasix:

At first I wanted the first one, then I saw the second one, Now I want both :D

Get them both. I'd keep one out of the humidity for you.

That would be something to see.

Where did you ever learn to make such beautiful steel?:seasix:

I love me some nitrile...:)

They are all beautiful, elegant, works of art. The proportions and lines are just so well done. You are indeed a craftsman, a dying breed in this world of mass produced BS.

:iagree:

Beautiful work. I love them all. :cheers:

Beautiful Craftsmanship, and great works of Art with steel!

Quality that anyone, and everyone can appreciate.. :yesnod:

:cert:

I especially love this one. :seasix:

Wow!! Great work, I love them all.:seasix::seasix:

Never done a COA on a knife. For something like that, I would suggest a scrimshaw artist to do it on [legal]ivory handles.

Never done any swords, and only a few "fighters." I'm of the belief that unless you are trained correctly, a "fighting knife" will get you killed. Best fighter I got has a 12 rd. magazine. :D

It would have to be a helluva lotta steaks and antlers. :rofl:

I learned that through the efforts of several 'smiths and knifemakers. The person that taught me the most about forging damascus steel is Ryan Johnson, IMHO, one of the best in this part of the country. He runs the metal shop at UT in Chattanooga and is part owner of RMJ tactical.

Just beautiful.

Do you make your own Damascus Steel ? Is the Guild Show in Pasadena Ca. by any chance ?:)

Fantastic looking pieces as usual Steve. :cert:
Gonna treat myself to one of those someday.
Scott

Very nice!

I do all of my damascus, here's a pic of my ugly mug at the forge.

The Knife makers Guild show is in Louisville KY September 14, 15, 16.

I don't think The Blade Show west is done anymore, last I heard it was at the Ontario Convention center in California.

True craftsmanship. Absolutely beautiful work! :seasix:
