Damascus/deer leg bone
« on: December 12, 2014, 10:36:18 am »
Just got this Damascus knife from my good buddy Joe Dempler. The handle is deer leg bone. Its quite sharp and about 10" long o/a. Ive never seen this style of steel bladed knife before. I love it!

It surely looks knapped. Up close it has the tiny ridges present in stone. And, it slices through paper easy enough. I didn't ask Joe if he made the blade or bought it, my money says he made it somehow. Its very symmetrically hammered whoever did it.
