Semi-integral Jagdnicker (German hunting knife)

 Another bar of steel I found in the woods, a piece of roe deer antler I found in the woods... a knife...

 The steel shows a subtle pattern even after initial etching without a polish. The blade  is selectively tempered with a high convex bevel, 120x 3mm.

The integral is forged 100% with no filing just to show I can ;-).

Yap, I like it. It´s mine... ;-)

New neck knife project on the bench

A new neck knife project I started. A damasteel stainless damascus blade, 80 mm, by Peter Abel, spine thickness 2 mm, roe deer antler handle. I have yet to decide what bolster it will get and I am thinking about bone or buffalo horn or Mammoth ivory... we´ll see. It will see some incrustation at the pommel, too, maybe some amber...
