I met Volker the other day at the Bethaus smithy to have a chat about the oncoming season and had the opportunity to do some quick forging, and that´s what came out (top to bottom): Leaf handle knife (spring steel), little teenie weenie whittling seven-bar damascus (tank bearing, tank cannon), and an integral En-Nep from silver steel.
I also had quite a bit of good natured talk with Volker. Missed you, dude!
The damascus blade cried: I want to be made! on top of its lungs, so I set to work immediately;-). Stag antler, and the coin shows how small the blade is.
Made a sheath for it with some jewellry.
The antler, tanned.
The spine varies from 0,8 to 2,4 mm in thickness.
I fitted a stone I found on the banks of the river Rhine for jewelry... like the colour.
The other side of the blade.
overall details...
