New knife

[rapidboy]

I go through a lot of knives but every once in a while one really stands out.

Poul Strande damascus blade with green dyed stabilised maple, pewter, green fibre and African blackwood spacers by Pennillion

When did Mik make tha beauty

I don't know, I didn't get it direct from Mik, it's new to me but i don't know when the previous owner got it.

Rather nice pimped folders though which I have missed

 

[Fluffy]

Very very nice pimped folders it has to be said.

 

[MadRat]

Errrr... Yeah..... Like is it going to be used?........

 

[durulz]

I am utterly in love with damascus blades and intensely envious of anyone who has one.
Wish I could afford one, or even justify the expense.
Gorgeous.

Errrr... Yeah..... Like why would it not be used?

 

[Draven]

That's lovely, it's like psychadelic raindrop damascus Probably closest to random I'm seen - and looks amazing! The choice of handle materials is great, and the finish is awesome too!

 

[MadRat]

Errrr... Yeah..... Like why would it not be used?

OK post up a piccy in a couple of months. After youve made a few things wiv it... An resharp'nd it a few times........

I can only agree with Draven - a fantastic job.

I don't really undersatnd what your point is here, are you doubting the integrity of the knife ? or that i would use a custom knife ?

 

[MadRat]

Hey Rapidboy......

Are you actually going to use it?

 

[rapidboy]

I don't know if it will be used, i bought it to make a sheath for it and to see an example of the work by the makers involved .
The knife is made by 2 fantastic makers and is certainly as capable as any other traditional scandi knife, it's not a "monkey dama blade" from Pakistan.
The only reason i may not use it is that I'm trying to use knives i have made myself these days , my other custom knives are not being used for the same reason but i have used damascus knives in the past, most used was a damascus Woodlore from Alan Wood.
I'm not afraid to use nice or expensive knives, they are all tools as far as I'm concerned.

MadRat, give it a rest. At this point you are on the edge of being a troll. Which means, if you continue down this path, you will have to troll somewhere else. And, I'm not going to argue this point with you.
