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!

That's truly unique.  Like it!
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857

I have seen a couple similar that were done with an air hammer and looked just like a knapped blade .

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.
