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. |

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.

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. Quote:
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. |
