Two Knives For Sale

[nztimb]

I bought in a bar of Cu mai to try and made these to knives from it. The 5 layer Cu mai bar has a central core of 1084 with a layer of copper and clad with 1020 which gives it this rather nice visual effect while still having the good 1084 edge steel. Blades are FC etched and coffee soaked for colour

First is a PH EDC with Amboyna burl over the curve back buffalo horn bolster on the cu mai blade in border stamped right hand sheath for US$390 plus shipping

Wapiti hunter Butcher with Maple burl over the curve back buffalo horn bolster on the Cu mai blade in a border stamped right hand sheath for US$390 plus shipping

Absolutely gorgeous knives!

Thank you. I was quite taken with the blades myself. A nice visual to see the copper layer emerge as the grinding progresses.

@Von Gruff
You may have bought the metal but you didn't buy the end result. That was a result of good quality craftsmanship on your part. There's no need to be humble your work us brilliant and the feedback you get is always good. I have never read a report saying Gary's knives are crap.
That goes to show you do good work mate.

What about a completely new design

Zebra wood ??

 

[nztimb]

this is the last pair of zebrawood scales I have and they are 10mm thick rough sawn so would have to have a liner under them but that would enhance the visual with the right liner on the right blade
