My latest knife. I built this design so it could be used for both skinning and as a general purpose knife in my hunting pack. 104 layer Damascus.
The sheath is pretty plain. It's the second one I've done myself. I use to have a friend do them for me but his hobby has now turned into more of a business and I didn't want to ask for any favours.
Awesome!! Did you forge that and everything??
I just bought 5 acres in the country, and the first thing I'm doing is getting a forge.
I hammer all the steel by hand. I'll send you the drawings for my forge. super easy to build and works great. Most expensive part is the ceramic insulation.

I am like 90% sure... Etsy is trying to sell me your knives.
Its a pretty common design among knife makers. I copied the the swirled sawtooth pattern from a picture I saw online. It wouldn't surprise me if someone is selling it.
this doc is gr8 also, theres another one on the ULFBEHRT sword, a steel probably better in quality than damascus, that can't even be reproduced to this day
Some old friends from HS converted an industrial mid 1800s auto-hammer (maybe steam hammer?) to operate with foot pedals using a clutch and drum brake at their forge. This looks like a good use for the other drum!

You want to work with tin? (only definition of a "whitesmith" I've ever known.)
