Feather Dammy Integral

[BT11]

Finished this one up a few months ago. Something I was keen to try forging out.

Specs are:
222x55mm
228g
I think the spine was around 2.8mm, with full distal taper.
Thin convex ground
Balance point just in front of the bolster

If I were going to be picky, I would have liked to have pushed the pattern up into the bolster a little better... Maybe next time...

Cheers
Brook
Siam Rosewood for the handle

handle

This knife is aces. I wouldn’t kick it out of bed for eating crackers.

Damn that's a dramatic look (in a good way). Honestly I prefer the feather pattern staying more parallel to the blade rather than swerving way up to the neck. Add in pretty ideal specs and that looks like a keeper!

Thanks!
I still dig the way it looks. But from a technical forging aspect, it would have shown I can move the steel around exactly how i wanted it.

Beautiful, classy package, love the contrast of the red to that Damascus and the way the whole knife flows. Definitely functional art.

Holy mother of feather damascus! I dig this one - and I don’t even like damascus patterns a lot. Wow! The handle is a great match, too! Respect!

Was this a custom or did you make it for yourself?

Appreciate the kind words mate.

I just make what I want, when I have the time, and list it up for sale on the usual socials...
