Working on a set of eight steak knives in some Texas wind damascus. #steak #steakdinner #steakknife #steakknives
Felt cute, might puukko later, idk. #puukko #puukkoknife #scandinaviandesign #finland
Some 540 layer random pattern on an 8” chef. Random damascus is super underrated in my opinion. #damascussteel #luxury #chef #cheflifestyle
Some 100 layer Texas wind, peeking through the fire scale. #damascus #damascussteel #blacksmith #bladesmith
Some damascus in the fire this morning. I need to forge weld this stack, then size it down to bars for twisting. #damascussteel #blacksmithing #bladesmith #cutlery
Congrats to Ryan @breuer_blades !! He came up for a masked visit and ABS Journeyman Smith performance test yesterday. Big milestone in a bladesmith’s career. I was very happy to proctor the test for him. Great job Ryan.
I call this on the Honey Hawk. It features a 6” blade (including the neck) of double barrel dragon’s fire damascus with a hand carved fuller and domed 14k gold rivets, mated with a hand carved grip in some stunning curly acacia that I got from @greenberg_woods #pushdagger #dagger #daggers #mastersmith
A 5” Bantam to match the 8” chef. River of fire and dragon’s fire damascus. #cooking #kniferoll #elegantkitchen #finedining
An 8” chef in river of fire, with a dragon’s fire edge. That’ll do. #damascussteel #chefknife #chefknifes #chefknives
A lil steel preview. #damascussteel #blacksmith #bladesmith #mastersmith
First glimpse of the feather pattern bar I’ve been making. Next step is to scallop the edges of the bar and then reforge to straight. This makes the straight feather into the serpentine river of fire. #damascussteel #damascusknife #forged #customknife
Presenting “The Bastard.” 13” integral blade in dragon’s fire and gordian firestorm damascus, with g10, fine silver, and carved African blackwood grip. 18” overall. #mastersmith #africanblackwood #handmadeknife #damascussteel
The two halves of the feather billet, forge welded back together into a solid block. Time to draw it out into a longer and thinner bar. #featherdamascus #damascusknife #handforged #mastersmith
One of two stacks of tight crushed w’s, now forge welded. The next step is to drive a wedge through the middle of the billet from the top (facing to the right of this image), drawing the w’s sharply down in the center. Then the two halves are forge welded back together to produce the feather pattern. #featherdamascus #patternweldedwednesday #patternwelding #damascusknives
Two stacks of tight w’s, ready for forge welding and feathering. #damascussteel #featherdamascus #customknife #handforged
More puukko fun. #puukko #knifelife #damascusknife #playtime
Getting ready to stack these super dense crushed w’s for feathering. #featherdamascus #damascussteel #bladesmithing #patternwelded
I forged this little puukko out this afternoon from a damascus offcut while I was forge welding another billet for a commission. I think it’s a happy little shape. #puukko #customknife #damascusknife #justforfun
